Ted Yu commented on HBASE-451: ------------------------------ Looks like TestTableMapReduce doesn't create the table. From MultiRegionTable which TestTableMapReduce inherits: {code} HRegion region = createNewHRegion(desc, startKey, endKey); {code} I added test of whether table descriptor exists on HDFS in HRegion.createHRegion(). If it doesn't exist, I call FSUtils.createTableDescriptor(). Now TestTableMapReduce passes. > Remove HTableDescriptor from HRegionInfo > ---------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-451 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-451 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: master, regionserver > Affects Versions: 0.2.0 > Reporter: Jim Kellerman > Assignee: Subbu M Iyer > Priority: Critical > Fix For: 0.92.0 > > Attachments: 451_support_for_removing_HTD_from_HRI_trunk.txt, > HBASE-451-Fixed_broken_TestAdmin.patch, > HBASE-451-Fixed_broken_TestAdmin1.patch, > HBASE-451_-_First_draft_support_for_removing_HTD_from_HRI1.patch, > HBASE-451_-_Fourth_draft_support_for_removing_HTD_from_HRI.patch, > HBASE-451_-_Second_draft_-_Remove_HTD_from_HRI.patch, descriptors.txt, > fixtestadmin.txt, pass_htd_on_region_construction.txt > > > There is an HRegionInfo for every region in HBase. Currently HRegionInfo also > contains the HTableDescriptor (the schema). That means we store the schema n > times where n is the number of regions in the table. > Additionally, for every region of the same table that the region server has > open, there is a copy of the schema. Thus it is stored in memory once for > each open region. > If HRegionInfo merely contained the table name the HTableDescriptor could be > stored in a separate file and easily found. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
