getclosest doesn't understand delete family; manifests as "HRegionInfo was null
or empty in .META" A.K.A the BS problem
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HBASE-1761
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-1761
Project: Hadoop HBase
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: stack
Fix For: 0.20.0
getclosestatorbefore was not converted to deal with the new delete types. It
only knows how to process old style deletes. Usually all is well as edits come
in but its possible to get into state where you have persisted in one file a
deletefamily for all in meta and in the file behind it, there are entries on
the info family. Since closest doesn't understand deletefamily, it will return
the Put rows only for the subsequent getfull, which knows how to work with
deletefamilies fail.
Once this happens, table is hosed. Seen on Bradford Stephens upload and at
Powerset. "Fix" is flush and major compact. Gives impression that hbase is
'delicate'. Fixing.
