Jingyun Tian commented on HBASE-18128:
--------------------------------------
The failed test is unrealted to my patch and it can pass on my computer.
[~allan163] I think the point is we add the compaction marker is to guarantee
the old file won't show up. If we don't need to guarantee this, maybe the
compaction marker we can also skip during splitting log.
> compaction marker could be skipped

> The sequence for a compaction are as follows:
> 1. Compaction writes new files under region/.tmp directory (compaction output)
> 2. Compaction atomically moves the temporary file under region directory
> 3. Compaction appends a WAL edit containing the compaction input and output
> files. Forces sync on WAL.
> 4. Compaction deletes the input files from the region directory.
> But if a flush happened between 3 and 4, then the regionserver crushed. The
> compaction marker will be skipped when splitting log because the sequence id
> of compaction marker is smaller than lastFlushedSequenceId.
> {code}
> if (lastFlushedSequenceId >= entry.getKey().getLogSeqNum()) {
> editsSkipped++;
> continue;
> }
> {code}
