Todd Lipcon commented on HBASE-2964: ------------------------------------ Overnight test completed OK with that patch. I think we should rebuild the rc with this if Stack thinks it looks good. > Deadlock when RS tries to RPC to itself inside SplitTransaction > --------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-2964 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-2964 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Bug > Components: ipc, regionserver > Affects Versions: 0.90.0 > Reporter: Todd Lipcon > Priority: Blocker > Attachments: hbase-2964.txt > > > In testing the 0.89.20100830 rc, I ran into a deadlock with the following > situation: > - All of the IPC Handler threads are blocked on the region lock, which is > held by CompactSplitThread. > - CompactSplitThread is in the process of trying to edit META to create the > offline parent. META happens to be on the same server as is executing the > split. > Therefore, the CompactSplitThread is trying to connect back to itself, but > all of the handler threads are blocked, so the IPC never happens. Thus, the > entire RS gets deadlocked. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
