Jimmy Xiang commented on HBASE-9870:
------------------------------------
As to the fix, we should do a decoding from onDisk, then an encoding to
inCache, if onDisk != inCache.
What do you think, [~mcorgan]?
> HFileDataBlockEncoderImpl#diskToCacheFormat uses wrong format

> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Jimmy Xiang
>
> In this method, we have
> {code}
> if (block.getBlockType() == BlockType.ENCODED_DATA) {
> if (block.getDataBlockEncodingId() == onDisk.getId()) {
> // The block is already in the desired in-cache encoding.
> return block;
> }
> {code}
> This assumes onDisk encoding is the same as that of inCache. This is not
> true when we change the encoding of a CF. This could be one of the reasons I
> got data loss with online encoding change?
> If I make sure onDisk == inCache all the time, my ITBLL with online encoding
> change worked once for me.
