Christopher Tubbs reassigned ACCUMULO-2381:
-------------------------------------------
Assignee: Christopher Tubbs
> AddFilesWithMissingEntries needs to just find abandoned files, or be deleted
> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: ACCUMULO-2381
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-2381
> Project: Accumulo
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 1.6.0
> Reporter: Eric Newton
> Assignee: Christopher Tubbs
> Priority: Minor
>
> The usefulness of the AddFilesWithMissingEntries utility is questionable.
> #) it's very dangerous: it updates the metadata table of online tablets
> without checking or warning users
> #) there's no use case for wanting to re-incorporate abandoned metadata files
> for the metadata table
> #) the primary use case for this utility is to find abandoned files
> #) the list of files must fit in RAM, which probably requires changing jvm
> options on large systems
> #) the quality and stability of accumulo has improved to the point where
> having these sorts of crazy fix-it utilities is more trouble than they are
> worth
> #) as noted in ACCUMULO-2077, it does not work on multi-volume systems
> It would be nice to look for abandoned files, and it might even be worth
> doing in the GC on a continuous basis.
