[jira] [Created] (HBASE-24558) Classic (ZK-based) distributed WAL splitter is inscrutable in operation

Michael Stack created HBASE-24558:
-------------------------------------

             Summary: Classic (ZK-based) distributed WAL splitter is inscrutable in operation
                 Key: HBASE-24558
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-24558
             Project: HBase
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: MTTR
            Reporter: Michael Stack


Scenario: decent sized cluster (700 nodes) and WALs were backing up (TBD: A Replication Peer was in place) such that many RSs had hundreds of WALs. Next, a power outage-like event where we had to cold-start. Master comes up and files SCPs for old server instances. SCP finds there are hundreds of WALs and dutifully asks the wal-splitter to do its job. Meantime it goes to sleep until completion (See HBASE-24545). Operator sees a stalled master dumping into its logs the occasional split completion but thats it. Operator tries poking up in zk under '/hbase/splitWAL' to see whats up but gets a spew back of one-line listing thousands of znodes. Operator gets no indication of how we are progressing or of when all is done.

In my particular case, there were > 100k WALs backed-up. I could dig around some and could see that 40k WALs were in-flight at any one time (necessitating upping jute.maxbuffer for zk).  I could do this:

{code}$ echo "ls /hbase/splitWAL" | hbase -Djute.maxbuffer=10000000 org.apache.hadoop.hbase.zookeeper.ZKMainServer | sed -e 's/, /\n/g'|wc{code}

but it didn't help much as new WALs got added to the backlog. I could do the below but it didn't help when WAL count > 100k:

{code}$ hdfs dfs -lsr /hbase/WALs/*|wc{code}

Is the count here all the WALs that need splitting (yes, I think). Its less than zk count at any one time. How are they tied? Dunno.

This issue is about improving visibility in our zk-based distributed wal-splitter. Needs to be count of overall outstanding tasks, of how long tasks are taking, and of how well distributed the job is (see below).

An aside was that I had default for {code}HBASE_SPLIT_WAL_MAX_SPLITTER = "hbase.regionserver.wal.max.splitters"{code} which is {code}
public static final int DEFAULT_HBASE_SPLIT_WAL_MAX_SPLITTER = 2; {code} so in extremis, I upped the count to 10 but even then looking at random RS's they were only getting work on occasion sometimes with hours passing between split tasks as though the Master was bad at passing out the jobs: hard to tell when no view on what is going on.

Below is from log of random RS... notice how sporadically it gets split work though thousands of WALs to work on:
