> I'm inspecting an interesting case where in a production cluster, some regionservers ends up accumulating hundreds of WAL files, even with force flushes going on due to max logs. This happened multiple times on the cluster, but not on other clusters. The cluster has periodic memstore flusher disabled, however, this still does not explain why the force flush of regions due to max limit is not working. I think the periodic memstore flusher just masks the underlying problem, which is why we do not see this in other clusters.

> The problem is that region {{d4cf39dc40ea79f5da4d0cf66d03cb1f}} is already split some time ago, and was able to flush its data and split without any problems. However, the FSHLog still thinks that there is some unflushed data for this region.
