> There's also a bit of a chicken/egg problem where if we are writing the GC result back to metadata but metadata scans are the issue and inconsistent it could be a problem. No. The deletion candidates are in a completely separate section of the table than the metadata tablets that could contain existing references. If some issue prevents the file from being seen as a candidate, then it doesn't matter... it won't be deleted. This only is a problem if the file is detected as a candidate, but the checking for existing references among the tablet metadata returns successfully with no reference detected. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
