Feng Honghua commented on HBASE-9465:
-------------------------------------

[~lhofhansl]

For RS failure scenario, can we delay the assigning of recovered regions until 
all the remained hlog files of the failed RS are pushed to peer clusters (the 
hlog split can be parallel with the hlog push though)? This way we can maintain 
the (global) serial push for hlog entries of a region even in face of RS 
failure.

But for region-move it's harder to maintain global serial push since it's 
harder to determine all the hlog entries of a given region has been pushed to 
peer clusters when the containing RS is healthy and continuously receiving 
write requests.

> When region-move or RS failure occurs in master cluster, the hlog entries 
> that are not pushed before region-move or RS-failure will be pushed by 
> original RS(for region move) or another RS which takes over the remained hlog 
> of dead RS(for RS failure), and the new entries for the same region(s) will 
> be pushed by the RS which now serves the region(s), but they push the hlog 
> entries of a same region concurrently without coordination.
> This treatment can possibly lead to data inconsistency between master and 
> peer clusters:
> 1. there are put and then delete written to master cluster
> 2. due to region-move / RS-failure, they are pushed by different 
> replication-source threads to peer cluster
> 3. if delete is pushed to peer cluster before put, and flush and 
> major-compact occurs in peer cluster before put is pushed to peer cluster, 
> the delete is collected and the put remains in peer cluster
> In this scenario, the put remains in peer cluster, but in master cluster the 
> put is masked by the delete, hence data inconsistency between master and peer 
> clusters
