ramkrishna.s.vasudevan commented on HBASE-22072: ------------------------------------------------ Am able to reproduce this. Will upload a formal test and then a fix for it. > High read/write intensive regions may cause long crash recovery > --------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-22072 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-22072 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Performance, Recovery > Affects Versions: 2.1.2 > Reporter: Pavel > Priority: Major > > Compaction of high read loaded region may leave compacted files undeleted > because of existing scan references: > INFO org.apache.hadoop.hbase.regionserver.HStore - Can't archive compacted > file hdfs://hdfs-ha/hbase... because of either isCompactedAway=true or file > has reference, isReferencedInReads=true, refCount=1, skipping for now > If region is either high write loaded this happens quite often and region may > have few storefiles and tons of undeleted compacted hdfs files. > Region keeps all that files (in my case thousands) untill graceful region > closing procedure, which ignores existing references and drop obsolete files. > It works fine unless consuming some extra hdfs space, but only in case of > normal region closing. If region server crashes than new region server, > responsible for that overfiling region, reads hdfs folder and try to deal > with all undeleted files, producing tons of storefiles, compaction tasks and > consuming abnormal amount of memory, wich may lead to OutOfMemory Exception > and further region servers crash. This stops writing to region because number > of storefiles reach *hbase.hstore.blockingStoreFiles* limit, forces high GC > duty and may take hours to compact all files into working set of files. > Workaround is a periodically check hdfs folders files count and force region > assign for ones with too many files. > It could be nice if regionserver had a setting similar to > hbase.hstore.blockingStoreFiles and invoke attempt to drop undeleted > compacted files if number of files reaches this setting. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
