Jonathan Hsieh commented on HBASE-4740: --------------------------------------- Ends up that I was splitting in the wrong place and splitting an empty region returns scary error messages when it should say return an innocuous one. > [bulk load] the HBASE-4552 API can't tell if errors on region server is > recoverable or unrecoverable error. > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: HBASE-4740 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-4740 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 0.92.0 > Reporter: Jonathan Hsieh > Assignee: Jonathan Hsieh > Priority: Blocker > Fix For: 0.92.0 > > Attachments: > 0001-HBASE-4740-bulkload-HBASE-4552-API-can-t-tell-if-err.patch > > > Running TestHFileOutputFormat more frequently seems to show that it has > become flaky. It is difficult to tell if this is because of a unrecoverable > failure or a recoverable failure. To make this visiable from test and for > users, we need to make a change to bulkload call's interface on > HRegionServer. The change should make successful rpcs return true, > recoverable failures return false, and unrecoverable failure throw an > IOException. This is an RPC change, so it would be really good to get this > api right before the final 0.92 goes out. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
