Enis Soztutar created HBASE-5986: ------------------------------------ Summary: Clients can see holes in the META table when regions are being split Key: HBASE-5986 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-5986 Project: HBase Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 0.92.1, 0.96.0, 0.94.1 Reporter: Enis Soztutar Assignee: Enis Soztutar
We found this issue when running large scale ingestion tests for HBASE-5754. The problem is that the .META. table updates are not atomic while splitting a region. In SplitTransaction, there is a time lap between the marking the parent offline, and adding of daughters to the META table. This can result in clients using MetaScanner, of HTable.getStartEndKeys (used by the TableInputFormat) missing regions which are made just offline, but the daughters are not added yet. This is also related to HBASE-4335. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
