Victor Xu updated HBASE-11397:
------------------------------
Attachment: HBASE-11397-Stripe-Info.png
Attach the stripe state in RS logs. All the stripes are expired.
> When merging expired stripes, we need to create an empty file to preserve
> metadata.

> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Compaction
> Affects Versions: 0.98.2
> Environment: jdk1.7.0_45, hadoop-cdh5, hbase-0.98.2

> Stripe Compaction is a good feature in 0.96 and 0.98. But when I used it in a
> heavy-write non-uniform row keys scenario(e.g. time dimension in a key), I
> came across some problems.
> I made my stripes split at the size of 2G(hbase.store.stripe.sizeToSplit=2G),
> and soon there were tens of them. It was true that only the last stripe
> receiving the new keys kept compacting - old data didn't compact as much, or
> at all. However, the old stripes were still there when they all expired. I
> checked the source code and found that when compacting expired stripes, the
> StoreScanner may return no KVs so that SizeMultiWriter.append() is never
> called. That's to say, NO NEW FILE WILL BE CREATED.
> My solution is to create an empty file to preserve metadata at the end of the
> SizeMultiWriter.commitWritersInternal().
