Himanshu Vashishtha commented on HBASE-8497: -------------------------------------------- Oh I messed up with numbers:) {code} 2013-05-22 17:11:23,400 DEBUG wal.ProtobufLogReader (ProtobufLogReader.java:initInternal(118)) - After reading the trailer: lastPositionToRead: 372, fileLength: 380, trailerPresent: true {code} So, it should read: Note, magic is 4 bytes [377-380], trailer size is 4 bytes [373-376]. The trailer size is 0; so last byte of the WALEdit is at 372, and lastPositionToRead is pointing to 372 only. Also note the lastPositionToRead variable is changed to walEditsStopOffset, but that's a different point. > Protobuf WAL also needs a trailer > ---------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-8497 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-8497 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Sub-task > Components: Protobufs, wal > Affects Versions: 0.95.1 > Reporter: Enis Soztutar > Assignee: Himanshu Vashishtha > Fix For: 0.98.0, 0.95.1 > > Attachments: HBASE-8497-v0.patch, HBASE-8497-v2.patch, > HBASE-8497-v3.patch, HBASE-8497-v4.patch, HBASE-8497-v5.patch > > > New Protobuf WAL has a header, but we will probably need a trailer as well, > reserved for later usage. > Right now, we can we just serialize an empty trailer, but putting more > metadata there, like range of sequence_id's, region names, table names etc > might be needed in the future. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
