The method isChildReadLock in class ZKInterProcessLockBase may be wrong, which 
determines whether the lock is readLock or not. So we should compare the node 
name with READ_LOCK_CHILD_NODE_PREFIX rather than WRITE_LOCK_CHILD_NODE_PREFIX. 
Since there is no other method to invoke the method "isChildReadLock" now, we 
have not encountered an error.
{code}
  protected static boolean isChildReadLock(String child) {
int idx = child.lastIndexOf(ZKUtil.ZNODE_PATH_SEPARATOR);
String suffix = child.substring(idx + 1);
return suffix.startsWith(WRITE_LOCK_CHILD_NODE_PREFIX);

The table details on the master UI lists the start row keys of the regions. The 
row keys might have sensitive data. We should hide them based on whether or not 
the user accessing has the required authorization to view the table.. To start 
with, we could make the display of row keys and such based on a configuration 
being true or false. If it is false, such potentially sensitive data is never 
displayed on the web UI.

Metrics units?

2014-06-13 Thread Nick Dimiduk
Heya,

Do we have documentation someplace describing the units for various metics?
For instance, it's not always clear if a unit is bytes or milliseconds.
Would be nice if the metric names were self-identifying, but that will
break compatibility with anyone who's monitoring specific metrics by name,
so maybe just an update to the book?

most of the metrics should have a description string in JMX that should
describe them.  If they are missing units in there and it's not clear, just
let me know and I can try and clean that up.

 Summary: Experiments with OffHeap memstores
 Key: HBASE-11351
 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-11351
 Project: HBase
  Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Lars Hofhansl


I have been experimenting with offheap memstores using an offheap BTree 
implementation of ConcurrentMap provided by MapDB (www.mapdb.org)

So far I hooked this up in an experimental way with inefficient serialization 
(in the sense that due to our special usage of the set api we need to back the 
set by a map, which in the off heap case means we need to serialize and store 
the value twice. It is used as key and value). But it works.

It's quite a bit slower and due to need to deserialize upon scan it produces 
*more* short term garbage.

Let's use this issue to discuss.

We are exporting a very large table.  The export snapshot job takes 7+ days to 
complete.  During that time we had to bounce HMaster.  When HMaster 
initializes, it initializes the SnapshotManager which subsequently deletes the 
.tmp directory.

If this happens while the ExportSnapshot job is running the reference files get 
removed and the job fails.

Maybe we could put some sort of token such that when this job is running 
HMaster wont reset the tmp directory.

Re: Timestamp resolution

2014-06-13 Thread lars hofhansl
I'm saying that you do not always have to. You might have an external timestamp 
oracle that does this for you and all I want is use that high resolution time 
in HBase.

Unix has at least an API to get it:
  int gettimeofday(struct timeval *tv, struct timezone *tz);

  struct timeval {
 time_t  tv_sec; /* seconds */
 suseconds_t tv_usec;    /* microseconds */
  };


Also if/when we figure out how to get this in Java we better have a place to 
store it.

Maybe my requirement is too specific...?

 Should we just store he TS is microseconds? We could do that right now
 (and just keep the ms resolution for now - i.e. the us part would

 0 for now).
 Existing data must be in ms of course, so we'd grandfather that in, but
 new tables could store by default in us.
 
 We'd need to make this configurable both the column family level and
 client level, so clients could still opt to see data in ms.

That's a fair point.

Maybe that still works as HBase should not make any assumption about the actual

Subject: Re: Timestamp resolution
 


In situations such as client "timestamp" is used to support transactions,
it's not bad to disable server side TTL because TTL clean up doesn't care
about transaction semantics. Therefore, it likely breaks data integrity
across multiple tables or regions.

It's still a good use case to support TTL on "client provided timestamp".
I think we can provide a plug-in so that during compaction we allow user
to interpret their own timestamp to decide if to GC old data.

Thanks,

Time for 0.94.21

2014-06-13 Thread lars hofhansl
Only 6 fixes so far (a few in the pipeline). 0.94 is clearly stabilizing after 
20 releases - or maybe interest has just shifted to 0.96 and later.


In any case, thinking about rolling an RC next week. Let me know about any 
issue you'd like to get in.


Thanks.
