stack commented on HBASE-5986: ------------------------------ Regards 1. and 2., what guarantees do we have that the daughter will not have split by the time we go into our wait on the daughters to come online? > 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 > Attachments: HBASE-5986-test_v1.patch > > > 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.
