churro morales commented on HBASE-11360:
----------------------------------------
So we could do this:
Create a configuration option called : hbase.snapshot.inProgress.maxTime which
would allow you to configure the maximum amount of time a snapshot should take
The refresh logic would then look to see
Is there an inProgress token AND is current time - create timestamp for
".inProgress" < hbase.snapshot.inProgress.maxTime
If so refresh the cache
Otherwise
refresh the cache only if we have new snapshots in our snapshot directory (same
logic as current)
I think that might be a safe way to go about things. Anyways I'll think about
it more tonight and would love to hear your thoughts.
we could have an ".inProgress" token and check that as well as its timestamp to
determine whether or not we need a cache refresh.
on top of that you could create a configuration option say:
hbase.snapshot.inProgress.maxTime which would allow you to configure a timeout
for that
> SnapshotFileCache refresh logic based on modified directory time might be
> insufficient

> Key: HBASE-11360
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-11360
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 0.94.19
> Reporter: churro morales
>
> Right now we decide whether to refresh the cache based on the lastModified
> timestamp of all the snapshots and those "running" snapshots which is located
> in the /hbase/.hbase-snapshot/.tmp/<snapshot> directory
> We ran a ExportSnapshot job which takes around 7 minutes between creating the
> directory and copying all the files.
> Thus the modified time for the
> /hbase/.hbase-snapshot/.tmp directory was 7 minutes earlier than the modified
> time of the
> /hbase/.hbase-snapshot/.tmp/<snapshot> directory
> Thus the cache refresh happens and doesn't pick up all the files but thinks
> its up to date as the modified time of the .tmp directory never changes.
> This is a bug as when the export job starts the cache never contains the
> files for the "running" snapshot and will fail.
