Joe Ferner commented on ACCUMULO-3727:
--------------------------------------

I ran into this problem today with Accumulo 1.7.2. What was strange was "/accumulo/recovery/<recoveryid>/failed" was a file not a directory, so  "/accumulo/recovery/<recoveryid>/failed/data" could never exist. I tried moving the "failed" file into a new directory as "failed/data" but Accumulo said it wasn't a valid sequence file. Tried removing the "failed" file but still didn't recover. Ended up removing the whole "/accumulo/recovery/<recoveryid>" directory and things started working again.

> Over night there was a mass failure of Accumulo (most likely due to too many mappers for a job). After restarting Accumulo, one of the metadata tablets failed to load. There was a log message showing a `FileNotFoundException` on the file `hdfs:///accumulo/recovery/<log id>/failed/data`. Removing the `<log id>` directory from HDFS seemed to unclog the jam and things came back (though potentially with data loss).
> I wanted to investigate why somewhere in the plumbing of `TabletServer`, `TabletServerLogger`, and `SortedLogRecovery`, an attempt was made to use the `failure` file.
> I see in `SortedLogRecovery#sort` where the marker file gets created:
> {code}
> public void sort(String name, Path srcPath, String destPath) {
> ...
>       } catch (Throwable t) {
>         try {
>           // parent dir may not exist
>           fs.mkdirs(new Path(destPath));
>           fs.create(new Path(destPath, "failed")).close();
>         } catch (IOException e) {
>           log.error("Error creating failed flag file " + name, e);
>         }
>         log.error(t, t);
>       } finally {
> ...
> {code}
> I have not stepped out to figure out where/why the `failed` files gets included in the list of recovered data dir.
