-------------------------------
Priority: Minor (was: Blocker)
> Redundant Reference file in bottom region of split
> --------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HBASE-25322
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-25322
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 3.0.0-alpha-2
> Reporter: Xiaolin Ha
> Assignee: Xiaolin Ha
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 3.0.0-alpha-2, 2.4.9
>
>
> When we split a region ranges from (,), the bottom region should contain keys
> of(,split key), and the top region should contain keys of [split key, ).
> Currently, if we do the following operations:
> # put rowkeys 100,101,102,103,104,105 to a table, and flush the memstore to
> make a hfile with rowkeys 100,101,102,103,104,105;
> # put rowkeys 200,201,202,203,204,205 to the table, and flush the memstore
> to make a hfile with rowkeys 200,201,202,203,204,205;
> # split the table region, using split key 200;
> # then the bottom region will has two Reference files, while the top region
> only has one.
> But we expect the bottom region has only one Reference file as the the top
> region.
> That's because when generating Reference files in child region, the bottom
> region used the `PrivateCellUtil.createLastOnRow(splitRow)` cell to compare
> to first keys in the hfiles, while the top region used
> `PrivateCellUtil.createFirstOnRow(splitRow)` cell to compare to last keys in
> the hfiles.
> `LastOnRow(splitRow)` means the maximum row generated by the split row, while
> `FirstOnRow(splitRow)` means the minimus row generated by the split row. The
> split row should be in the top region. And we should use
> `FirstOnRow(splitRow)` compare to hfile first and last keys in both bottom
> and top region.
> Though the redundant Reference file will not be read by the bottom region,
> the compaction of the redundant Reference file will result in empty file if
> only this redundant Reference file participates in a compaction.
