I'm setting up a Hbase cluster on a cloud infrastructure.
HBase version: 0.94.11
Hadoop version: 1.0.4
Currently I have 4 nodes in my cluster (1 master, 3 regionservers)
and I'm
using YCSB (yahoo benchmarks) to create a table (500.000 rows) and send
requests (Asynchronous requests). Everything works fine with this
setup (as
I'm monitoring the hole process with ganglia and I'm getting lamda,
throughput, latency combined with the YCSB's output), but the problem
occurs when I add a new regionserver on-the-fly as it doesn't
getting any
requests.
What "on-the-fly" means:
While the YCSB is sending request to the cluster, I'm adding new
regionservers using python scripts.
Addition Process (while the cluster is serving requests):
1. I'm creating a new VM which will act as the new regionserver and
configure every needed aspect (hbase, hadoop, /etc/host, connect to
private network, etc)
2. Stoping **hbase** balancer
3. Configuring every node in the cluster with the new node's
information
* adding hostname to regioservers files
* adding hostname to hadoop's slave file
* adding hostname and IP to /etc/host file of every node
* etc
4. Executing on the master node:
* `hadoop/bin/start-dfs.sh`
* `hadoop/bin/start-mapred.sh`
* `hbase/bin/start-hbase.sh`
(I've also tried to run `hbase start regionserver` on the newly
added node and does exactly the same with the last command -
starts the regionserver)
5. Once the newly added node is up and running I'm executing **hadoop**
load balancer
6. When the hadoop load balancer stops I'm starting again the **hbase**
load balancer
I'm connecting over ssh to the master node and check that the load
balancers (hbase/hadoop) did their job as both the blocks and
regions are
uniformly spread across all the regionservers/slaves including the
new one.
But when I run status 'simple' in the hbase shell I see that the new
regionservers are not getting any requests. (below is the output of the
command after adding 2 new regionserver "okeanos-nodes-4/5")
|hbase(main):008:0> status 'simple'
5 live servers
okeanos-nodes-1:60020 1380865800330

okeanos-nodes-2:60020 1380865800738

usedHeapMB=162,
maxHeapMB=3067
okeanos-nodes-4:60020 1380866702216
requestsPerSecond=0, numberOfOnlineRegions=3, usedHeapMB=29,
maxHeapMB=3067
0 dead servers
Aggregate load: 14924, regions: 19|
The fact that they don't serve any requests is also evidenced by the
CPU
usage, in a serving regionserver is about 70% while in these 2
regioservers
is about 2%.
Below is the output of|hadoop dfsadmin -report|, as you can see the
block
are evenly distributed (according to|hadoop balancer -threshold 2|).

I've tried stopping YCSB, restarting hbase master and restarting
YCSB but
with no lack.. these 2 nodes don't serve any requests!
As there are many log and conf files, I have created a zip file with
logs
and confs (both hbase and hadoop) of the master, a healthy regionserver
serving requests and a regionserver not serving requests.https://dl.**

Thank you in advance!!
