ramkrishna.s.vasudevan commented on HBASE-16964: ------------------------------------------------ I don have code with me now, but I think This can b solved . I started with a patch for this when then other bug was raised but was carried away. Currently we can list out the failed archived files and remove only the successful ones? Excuse typos > Successfully archived files are not cleared from compacted store file list if > archiving of any file fails > --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-16964 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-16964 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Bug > Components: regionserver > Reporter: Gary Helmling > Assignee: Gary Helmling > Priority: Blocker > Fix For: 1.3.0 > > > In HStore.removeCompactedFiles(), we only clear archived files from > StoreFileManager's list of compactedfiles if _all_ files were archived > successfully. If we encounter an error archiving any of the files, then any > files which were already archived will remain in the list of compactedfiles. > Even worse, this means that all subsequent attempts to archive the list of > compacted files will fail (as the previously successfully archived files > still in the list will now throw FileNotFoundException), and the list of > compactedfiles will never be cleared from that point on. > Finally, when the region closes, we will again throw an exception out of > HStore.removeCompactedFiles(), in this case causing a regionserver abort. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
