Andrew Purtell commented on HBASE-12686: ---------------------------------------- Thanks, the test change sounds good. bq. The daughters must be be transition state when a split operation fails That was my thought, so why not unconditionally offline the daughters? Just a suggestion. Log at ERROR level if the daughter wasn't actually in transition regardless I'd say. > Failures in split before PONR not clearing the daughter regions from regions > in transition during rollback > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-12686 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-12686 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Region Assignment > Affects Versions: 0.98.9 > Reporter: Rajeshbabu Chintaguntla > Assignee: Vandana Ayyalasomayajula > Priority: Blocker > Fix For: 1.0.0, 0.98.9 > > Attachments: HBASE-12686-98.patch, HBASE-12686-branch-1.patch > > > If there are any split failures then the both daughter regions left in > SPLITTING_NEW transition even after rollback, which will block balancing to > happen forever until unless master is restarted. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
