Maryann Xue created HBASE-6289: ---------------------------------- Summary: ROOT region doesn't get re-assigned in ServerShutdownHandler if the RS is still working but only the RS's ZK node expires. Key: HBASE-6289 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-6289 Project: HBase Issue Type: Bug Components: master Affects Versions: 0.94.0, 0.90.6 Reporter: Maryann Xue Priority: Critical
The ROOT RS has some network problem and its ZK node expires first, which kicks off the ServerShutdownHandler. it calls verifyAndAssignRoot() to try to re-assign ROOT. At that time, the RS is actually still working and passes the verifyRootRegionLocation() check, so the ROOT region is skipped from re-assignment. private void verifyAndAssignRoot() throws InterruptedException, IOException, KeeperException { long timeout = this.server.getConfiguration(). getLong("hbase.catalog.verification.timeout", 1000); if (!this.server.getCatalogTracker().verifyRootRegionLocation(timeout)) { this.services.getAssignmentManager().assignRoot(); } } After a few moments, this RS encounters DFS write problem and decides to abort. The RS then soon gets restarted from commandline, and constantly report: 2012-06-27 23:13:08,627 DEBUG org.apache.hadoop.hbase.regionserver.HRegionServer: NotServingRegionException; Region is not online: -ROOT-,,0 2012-06-27 23:13:08,627 DEBUG org.apache.hadoop.hbase.regionserver.HRegionServer: NotServingRegionException; Region is not online: -ROOT-,,0 2012-06-27 23:13:08,628 DEBUG org.apache.hadoop.hbase.regionserver.HRegionServer: NotServingRegionException; Region is not online: -ROOT-,,0 2012-06-27 23:13:08,628 DEBUG org.apache.hadoop.hbase.regionserver.HRegionServer: NotServingRegionException; Region is not online: -ROOT-,,0 2012-06-27 23:13:08,630 DEBUG org.apache.hadoop.hbase.regionserver.HRegionServer: NotServingRegionException; Region is not online: -ROOT-,,0 -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
