Ted Yu commented on HBASE-7467: ------------------------------- I understand Jesse's intention in HBASE-7465. I am fine with not leaking IOE. We should preserve the effect of IOE in that IOE would stop remaining checking / deletion to be executed in checkAndDeleteDirectory() calls. We can achieve this by introducing an enum one of whose values indicates fast fail. > CleanerChore checkAndDeleteDirectory not deleting empty directories. > -------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-7467 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-7467 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Jean-Marc Spaggiari > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 0.96.0, 0.94.5 > > Attachments: HBASE-7465_7467-v3.patch, HBASE-7467.patch, > HBASE-7467-v2.patch > > > CleanerChore checkAndDeleteDirectory is not deleting empty directories. As a > result, some directories are kept in the FS but should have been removed. > To reproduce, simply create an empty directory under > /hbase/.archive/table_name/. If you place a file into this directory, it's > not more empty and therefore it's correctly removed. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
