stack commented on HBASE-9696: ------------------------------ [~jxiang] The above unit test failure looks related. The overnight runs look like they succeeded. Is that so (I don't know how to read the result). Thanks [~jxiang] > Master recovery ignores online merge znode > ------------------------------------------ > > Key: HBASE-9696 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-9696 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Bug > Components: master, Region Assignment > Reporter: Jimmy Xiang > Assignee: Jimmy Xiang > Fix For: 0.98.0, 0.96.1 > > Attachments: trunk-9696.patch, trunk-9696_v2.1.patch, > trunk-9696_v2.patch, trunk-9696_v3.patch, trunk-9696_v3.patch > > > The online merge znode uses the new region to be created. When master > restarts, the new region is still unknown if the merging is not completed. > Therefore the znode is ignored, which should not. That means the two merging > regions could be moved around. This could cause some data loss if we are not > luck. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.1#6144)
