Alex Newman commented on HBASE-6924: ------------------------------------ I assume the issue is that opening a region can often fail and we want some retry logic. > HBase Master spews into a loop if a user attempts to create a snappy table > when snappy isn't properly configured > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-6924 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-6924 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Alex Newman > > If a user attempts to create a table, for instance > create 't1',{ NAME=>'c1', COMPRESSION=>'snappy'} > on stock HBase(Without snappy setup), > the master will spew this error in a loop > 12/10/02 12:41:38 INFO handler.OpenRegionHandler: Opening of region {NAME => > 't1,,1349206881317.2d34e32205ffe677496b03faa7e66063.', STARTKEY => '', ENDKEY > => '', ENCODED => 2d34e32205ffe677496b03faa7e66063,} failed, marking as > FAILED_OPEN in ZK > 12/10/02 12:41:38 INFO regionserver.HRegionServer: Received request to open > region: t1,,1349206881317.2d34e32205ffe677496b03faa7e66063. > 12/10/02 12:41:38 INFO regionserver.HRegion: Setting up tabledescriptor > config now ... > 12/10/02 12:41:38 ERROR handler.OpenRegionHandler: Failed open of > region=t1,,1349206881317.2d34e32205ffe677496b03faa7e66063., starting to roll > back the global memstore size. > java.io.IOException: Compression algorithm 'snappy' previously failed test. > at > org.apache.hadoop.hbase.util.CompressionTest.testCompression(CompressionTest.java:78) > at > org.apache.hadoop.hbase.regionserver.HRegion.checkCompressionCodecs(HRegion.java:3822) > at > org.apache.hadoop.hbase.regionserver.HRegion.openHRegion(HRegion.java:3811) > at > org.apache.hadoop.hbase.regionserver.HRegion.openHRegion(HRegion.java:3761) > at > org.apache.hadoop.hbase.regionserver.handler.OpenRegionHandler.openRegion(OpenRegionHandler.java:332) > at > org.apache.hadoop.hbase.regionserver.handler.OpenRegionHandler.process(OpenRegionHandler.java:108) > at > org.apache.hadoop.hbase.executor.EventHandler.run(EventHandler.java:169) > at > java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.runTask(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:886) > at > java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:908) > at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:662) > Even after the shell is killed. > In fact, even after a hbase reboot we will endlessly spew this painful and > high overhead error. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
