stack created HBASE-11368: ----------------------------- Summary: Multi-column family BulkLoad fails if compactions go on too long Key: HBASE-11368 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-11368 Project: HBase Issue Type: Bug Reporter: stack
Compactions take a read lock. If a multi-column family region, before bulk loading, we want to take a write lock on the region. If the compaction takes too long, the bulk load fails. Various recipes include: + Making smaller regions (lame) + [~victorunique] suggests major compacting just before bulk loading over in HBASE-10882 as a work around. Does the compaction need a read lock for that long? Does the bulk load need a full write lock when multiple column families? Can we fail more gracefully at least? -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
