Sean Busbey edited comment on HBASE-24795 at 7/29/20, 6:51 PM: --------------------------------------------------------------- there's already the {{--noack}} flag that allows moving just those regions that are still around. Can you describe what you're proposing beyond that behavior? was (Author: busbey): there's already the {{--noack}} flag that should be enough? > RegionMover should deal with unknown (split/merged) regions > ----------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-24795 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-24795 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: New Feature > Reporter: Viraj Jasani > Assignee: Viraj Jasani > Priority: Major > > For a cluster with very high load, it is quite common to see flush/compaction > happening every minute on each RegionServer. And we have quite high chances > of multiple regions going through splitting/merging. > RegionMover, while unloading all regions (graceful stop), writes down all > regions to a local file and while loading them back (graceful start), ensures > to bring every single region back from other RSs. While loading regions back, > even if a single region can't be moved back, RegionMover considers load() > failure. We miss out on possibilities of some regions going through > split/merge process and the fact that not all regions written to local file > might even exist anymore. Hence, RegionMover should gracefully handle moving > any unknown region without marking load() failed. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
