             Summary: Sometimes compacted storefiles are archived on region 
close
                 Key: HBASE-20704
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-20704
             Project: HBase
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Compaction
    Affects Versions: 2.0.0, 1.4.0, 1.3.0, 3.0.0, 1.5.0
            Reporter: Francis Liu


During region close compacted files which have not yet been archived by the 
discharger are archived as part of the region closing process. It is important 
that these files are wholly archived to insure data consistency. ie a storefile 
containing delete tombstones can be archived while older storefiles containing 
cells that were supposed to be deleted are left unarchived. 

On region close a compacted storefile is skipped from archiving if it has read 
references (ie open scanners). This behavior is correct for when the discharger 
chore runs but on region close consistency is of course more important so we 
should add a special case to ignore any references on the storefile and go 
ahead and archive it. 

Attached patch contains a unit test that reproduces the problem.
