stack commented on HBASE-4485:
------------------------------
@Amit Great stuff. I like the reasoning above especially the bit where the fix
I'd have done, the swapping order, likely has issues.
Looks like a little pollution in this patch from hbase-4344 but no matter since
you've merged this into hbase-4344 over in hbase-4344 (getMaxMemstoreTS?).
Why move the notify outside of the lock? Is it possible that when done outside
of the lock, that observers could ever see different lists of readers?

> After incorporating v11 of the 2856 fix, we discovered that we are still
> having some ACID violations.
> This time, however, the problem is not about including "newer" updates; but,
> about missing older updates
> that should be including.
> Here is what seems to be happening.
> There is a race condition in the StoreScanner.getScanners()
> private List<KeyValueScanner> getScanners(Scan scan,
> final NavigableSet<byte[]> columns) throws IOException {
> // First the store file scanners
> List<StoreFileScanner> sfScanners = StoreFileScanner
> .getScannersForStoreFiles(store.getStorefiles(), cacheBlocks,
> isGet, false);
> List<KeyValueScanner> scanners =
> new ArrayList<KeyValueScanner>(sfScanners.size()+1);
> // include only those scan files which pass all filters
> for (StoreFileScanner sfs : sfScanners) {
> if (sfs.shouldSeek(scan, columns)) {
> scanners.add(sfs);
> }
> }
> // Then the memstore scanners
> if (this.store.memstore.shouldSeek(scan)) {
> scanners.addAll(this.store.memstore.getScanners());
> }
> return scanners;
> }
> If for example there is a call to Store.updateStorefiles() that happens
> between
> the store.getStorefiles() and this.store.memstore.getScanners(); then
> it is possible that there was a new HFile created, that is not seen by the
> StoreScanner, and the data is not present in the Memstore.snapshot either.
