Will be created at region open only not at WAL split time.  But what I was 
saying is the WAL split area will try to create this dir if not there. But it 
will not try to create a region dir at least. Right now we do mkdirs which will 
create whole dir tree even if the region or even table dir is not there

bq.When we open a region, we will be creating the recovered.edits directory 
under that.
Do we do this on region open or on WAL split start?

Anoop Sam John commented on HBASE-24189:


Another possible solution way would be this
When we open a region, we will be creating the recovered.edits directory under 
that.  So for the WALSplitter to write the edits file under the region, there 
is ideally no need to create the dirs.  At least it dont need to create the 
region dir.  But in code what we do is if the  region/recovered.edits dir is 
not there we will create it using mkdirs.  So even if region dir is not there, 
we will end up creating that.  we can avoid doing this mkdirs.  And just do 
INFO log and skip all edits for that region.  Sounds like a less risky and 
simple thing (?)

bq.I haven't actually tested this, it could be the same case or maybe 
regionserver actually checks that the table doesn't exist anymore so it doesn't 
create directories.
The deleted table came back due to another bug but as you said more or less it 
is the same case.
Split or merge will ensure region is closed (daughter region). So all the 
memstore data has to be flushed by that time. If it fails Split /mergewont 
proceed

bq.For example, if region is split or merged and WAL isn't flushed prior to 
opening child region and closing parent regions
I dont think so.  For split or merge, the Region has to be closed 1st which 
will flush the data. Splitting or merging of regions with out flushing memstore 
is not possible. I did not check the code flow though.

Haven't planned on a patch, not exactly certain what would be the right 
solution here without leading to data loss.

I haven't actually tested this, it could be the same case or maybe regionserver 
actually checks that the table doesn't exist anymore so it doesn't create 
directories.

Would this be a safe thing to do? I'm not familiar with edge cases, but what 
would happen if WAL isn't flushed before the region is removed, it might cause 
data loss? For example, if region is split or merged and WAL isn't flushed 
prior to opening child region and closing parent regions (I don't know if it 
always gets flushed in those cases), then GCRegionProcedure will remove the 
parent regions and if there are still edits in WAL for parent regions that 
should be replayed into child region instead of getting discarded.

Anoop Sam John commented on HBASE-24189:


bq.Region directory in old table is recreated in new table...hbase hbck returns 
inconsistency
While doing the WAL split, we write the recovered edits file under the region 
dir and this recreates the dir from the old deleted table.  Now while doing the 
WAL split, we decide whether to consider each of the WAL entries by comparing 
its seqId against the latest flushed seqId for this region (This info is 
getting from HM).  Now if the old table is deleted and so old region, the HM 
will give back -1 as latest seqId and all entries will be considered for adding 
to recovered edits file. We might have to check whether the region exists or 
not also as part of the last flushed seqId look up and if the regions does not 
exists at all, we might have to just ignore those entries from WAL.
The recovered edits will be under a path
/datarecovered.edits/
In fact this is another issue also. In your steps, you create the table with 
same name.  But what if the table is deleted and not recreated. And immediately 
there was an RS down. Now the replay of the WAL file could possibly bring back 
some of the data from the deleted table back into the filesystem.   Also these 
data wont get replayed as these regions are gone anyways and so this data wont 
get deleted until some one manually remove these.  
Are you planning for a patch for this issue?

> Key: HBASE-24189
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-24189
> Project: HBase
>  Issue Type: Bug
>  Components: regionserver, wal
>Affects Versions: 2.2.4
> Environment: * HDFS 3.1.3
>  * HBase 2.1.4
>  * OpenJDK 8
>Reporter: Andrey Elenskiy
>Priority: Minor

> Under the following scenario region directories in HDFS can be recreated with 
> only recovered.edits in them:
>  # Create table "test"
>  # Put into "test"
>  # Delete table "test"
>  # Create table "test" again
>  # Crash the regionserver to which the put has went to force the WAL replay
>  # Region directory in old table is recreated in new table
>  # hbase hbck returns inconsistency
> This appears to happen due to the fact that WALs are not cleaned up once a 
> table is deleted and they still contain the edits from old table. I've tried 
> wal_roll command on the regionserver before crashing it, but it doesn't seem 
> to help as under some circumstances there are still WAL files around. The 
> only solution that works consistently is to restart regionserver before 
> creating the table at step 4 because that triggers log cleanup on startup:

> Truncating a table also would be a workaround by in our case it's a no-go as 
> we create and delete tables in our tests which run back to back (create table 
> in the beginning of the test and delete in the end of the test).
> A nice option in our case would be to provide hbase shell utility to force 
> clean up of log files manually as I realize that it's not really viable to 
> clean all of those up every time some table is removed.
