zhangduo commented on HBASE-13070: ---------------------------------- Oh I think I found the problem. We turned on hfile prefetching in this test after HBASE-12270(maybe a mistake). See https://builds.apache.org/job/HBase-TRUNK/6110/artifact/hbase-server/target/surefire-reports/org.apache.hadoop.hbase.io.hfile.TestCacheOnWrite-output.txt {noformat} 2015-02-10 06:48:00,128 DEBUG [main] hfile.PrefetchExecutor(102): Prefetch requested for /home/jenkins/jenkins-slave/workspace/HBase-TRUNK/hbase-server/target/test-data/170a3172-9a2e-4269-8085-8433f46141c6/test_cache_on_write/b7d5cfcd4b57411eaac3ebbb83626249, delay=905 ms {noformat} And see https://builds.apache.org/job/HBase-TRUNK/5796/artifact/hbase-server/target/surefire-reports/org.apache.hadoop.hbase.io.hfile.TestCacheOnWrite-output.txt Grep "Prefetch requested for" and get nothing. And we can see that, the prefetch operation has a delay, usually nearly 1 sec in tests, so if the test run fast enough then there is no problem. But if we run the test on a slow machine then BlockCache maybe ruined before we finish checking cached blocks and make the test fail. Thanks [~tedyu] to let me add a log when clearing BlockCache multiple times then I found the actual issue. > Fix TestCacheOnWrite > -------------------- > > Key: HBASE-13070 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-13070 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Bug > Components: test > Affects Versions: 2.0.0 > Reporter: zhangduo > Assignee: zhangduo > Attachments: HBASE-13070.patch > > > TestCacheOnWrite uses TestHFileWriterV2.randomOrderedKey to generate a random > byte array, then use first 32 bytes as row and remaining part as family and > qualifier. But TestHFileWriterV2.randomOrderedKey may return a byte array > only contains 32 bytes, so there will be zero length family and qualifier. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
