I will upload another patch when I get back home. > Distributed log splitting deleteNode races against splitLog retry > ------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: HBASE-5081 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-5081 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Bug > Components: wal > Affects Versions: 0.92.0, 0.94.0 > Reporter: Jimmy Xiang > Assignee: Prakash Khemani > Fix For: 0.92.0 > > Attachments: > 0001-HBASE-5081-jira-Distributed-log-splitting-deleteNode.patch, > 0001-HBASE-5081-jira-Distributed-log-splitting-deleteNode.patch, > 0001-HBASE-5081-jira-Distributed-log-splitting-deleteNode.patch, > 0001-HBASE-5081-jira-Distributed-log-splitting-deleteNode.patch, > 0001-HBASE-5081-jira-Distributed-log-splitting-deleteNode.patch, > 0001-HBASE-5081-jira-Distributed-log-splitting-deleteNode.patch, > 5081-deleteNode-with-while-loop.txt, > distributed-log-splitting-screenshot.png, hbase-5081-patch-v6.txt, > hbase-5081-patch-v7.txt, hbase-5081_patch_for_92_v4.txt, > hbase-5081_patch_v5.txt, patch_for_92.txt, patch_for_92_v2.txt, > patch_for_92_v3.txt > > > Recently, during 0.92 rc testing, we found distributed log splitting hangs > there forever. Please see attached screen shot. > I looked into it and here is what happened I think: > 1. One rs died, the servershutdownhandler found it out and started the > distributed log splitting; > 2. All three tasks failed, so the three tasks were deleted, asynchronously; > 3. Servershutdownhandler retried the log splitting; > 4. During the retrial, it created these three tasks again, and put them in a > hashmap (tasks); > 5. The asynchronously deletion in step 2 finally happened for one task, in > the callback, it removed one > task in the hashmap; > 6. One of the newly submitted tasks' zookeeper watcher found out that task is > unassigned, and it is not > in the hashmap, so it created a new orphan task. > 7. All three tasks failed, but that task created in step 6 is an orphan so > the batch.err counter was one short, > so the log splitting hangs there and keeps waiting for the last task to > finish which is never going to happen. > So I think the problem is step 2. The fix is to make deletion sync, instead > of async, so that the retry will have > a clean start. > Async deleteNode will mess up with split log retrial. In extreme situation, > if async deleteNode doesn't happen > soon enough, some node created during the retrial could be deleted. > deleteNode should be sync. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
