Keith Turner commented on ACCUMULO-1143: ---------------------------------------- I am thinking the best long term solution is to write delete markers for the METADATA table into the root tablet. This fix will avoid possible future bugs. Not doing merging minor compactions for the metadata table may not involve any code changes. Setting table.file.max to a large number for the !METADATA table should disable merging minor compactions. Could possibly make init do this. > unload of METADATA default_tablet with merging minor compactions can lockup > --------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: ACCUMULO-1143 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-1143 > Project: Accumulo > Issue Type: Bug > Components: tserver > Affects Versions: 1.4.0 > Reporter: Eric Newton > Assignee: Keith Turner > Priority: Critical > Fix For: 1.5.0, 1.4.3 > > > Unloading the default tablet of the !METADATA table can result in a merging > minor compaction.
