             Summary: ReplicationSource dies under certain conditions reading a sequence file
                 Key: HBASE-13724
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-13724
             Project: HBase
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: churro morales


A little background, 

We run our server in -ea mode and have seen quite a few replication sources silently die over the past few months.

Note: the stacktrace I posted below comes from a regionserver running 0.94 but quickly looking at this issue, I believe this will happen in 98 too.  

Should we harden replication source to deal with these types of assertion errors by catching throwables, should we be dealing with this at the sequence file reader level?  Still looking into the root cause of this issue but when manually shutdown our regionservers the regionserver that recovered its queue replicated that log just fine.  So in our case a simple retry would've worked just fine.
