Jean-Marc Spaggiari commented on HBASE-11541: --------------------------------------------- There was some work done over HBASE-7928 few month ago (and not commited). Can this be related? > Wrong result when scaning meta with startRow > -------------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-11541 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-11541 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Liu Shaohui > Assignee: Liu Shaohui > Priority: Minor > Attachments: HBASE-11541-trunk-v1.diff > > > When we scan the meta with STARTROW optiion, wrong result may be returned. > For exmaple: if there are two tables named "a" and "b" in hbase, when we scan > the meta with startrow = 'b', the region location of table "a" will be > returned but we expect to get the region location of table "b". > {code} > > create 'a', {NAME => 'f'} > > create 'b', {NAME => 'f'} > > scan '.META.', {STARTROW => 'b', LIMIT => 1} > a,,1405655897758.f8b547476b6dc80545e6413c31396, xxxx > {code} > The reason is the wrong assumption in MetaKeyComparator > See: KeyValue.java#2011 > {code} > int leftDelimiter = getDelimiter(left, loffset, llength, > HRegionInfo.DELIMITER); > int rightDelimiter = getDelimiter(right, roffset, rlength, > HRegionInfo.DELIMITER); > if (leftDelimiter < 0 && rightDelimiter >= 0) { > // Nothing between .META. and regionid. Its first key. > return -1; > } else if (rightDelimiter < 0 && leftDelimiter >= 0) { > return 1; > } else if (leftDelimiter < 0 && rightDelimiter < 0) { > return 0; > } > {code} > It's a little troublesome to fix this problem for given a start row which > contains more than two "," for meta, it's not easy to extract the startKey of > region. > eg: STARTROW => 'aaa,bbb,ccc,xxx'. > Comments and suggestions are welcomed.
