Dave Latham updated HBASE-8778:
-------------------------------
Attachment: HBASE-8778.patch
Attached HBASE-8778.patch which is a patch for trunk. Up at reviewboard at:
https://reviews.apache.org/r/12920/
This patch is similar to HBASE-8778-0.94.5-v2 but because it is for trunk only
it does not keep two copies (one in tabledir another in .tabledesc subdir) - it
only keeps table info files in the known subdir. As a result it also does not
use any locking.
The patch still includes some cleanup and refactoring of FSTableDescriptors to
consistently enforce the fsreadonly flag and use more instance methods than
static methods in order to do so.
It also changes snapshots to likewise store their table descriptors in the
.tabledesc subdirectory so they continue to share code and look just like table
directories (option #1 from the previous comment.)
It also adds a migration step to HMaster.finishInitialization which migrates
existing snapshot directories, user tables, and system tables to store
descriptors in the .tabledesc subdirectory.
Going to run it by Hadoop QA and welcome review and comment.

> To open the region, the region server first loads the latest
> HTableDescriptor. Since HBASE-4553 HTableDescriptor's are stored in the file
> system at "/hbase/<tableDir>/.tableinfo.<sequenceNum>". The file with the
> largest sequenceNum is the current descriptor. This is done so that the
> current descirptor is updated atomically. However, since the filename is not
> known in advance FSTableDescriptors it has to do a FileSystem.listStatus
> operation which has to list all files in the directory to find it. The
> directory also contains all the region directories, so in our case it has to
> load 130k FileStatus objects. Even using a globStatus matching function
> still transfers all the objects to the client before performing the pattern
> matching. Furthermore HDFS uses a default of transferring 1000 directory
> entries in each RPC call, so it requires 130 roundtrips to the namenode to
> fetch all the directory entries.
> Consequently, to reassign all the regions of a table (or a constant fraction
> thereof) requires time proportional to the square of the number of regions.
> In our case, if a region server fails with 200 such regions, it takes 10+
> minutes for them all to be reassigned, after the zk expiration and log
> splitting.
