HBase uses append to write > to its write ahead log. So initially the pipeline is setup as > DN1 --> DN2 --> DN3 > This WAL needs to be read when DN1 fails since it houses the HBase > regionserver for the WAL. > HBase first recovers the lease on the WAL file. During recovery, we choose > DN1 as the primary DN to do the recovery even though DN1 has failed and is > not heartbeating any more. > Avoiding the stale DN1 would speed up recovery and reduce hbase MTTR. There > are two options. > a) Ride on HDFS 3703 and if stale node detection is turned on, we do not > choose stale datanodes (typically not heart beated for 20-30 seconds) as > primary DN(s) > b) We sort the replicas in order of last heart beat and always pick the ones > which gave the most recent heart beat > Going to the dead datanode increases lease + block recovery since the block > goes into UNDER_RECOVERY state even though no one is recovering it actively. > Please let me know if this makes sense. If yes, whether we should move > forward with a) or b). > Thanks -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
