[jira] [Created] (HBASE-10500) hbck and OOM when BucketCache is enabled

Nick Dimiduk created HBASE-10500:
------------------------------------

             Summary: hbck and OOM when BucketCache is enabled
                 Key: HBASE-10500
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-10500
             Project: HBase
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: hbck
    Affects Versions: 0.98.0
            Reporter: Nick Dimiduk
            Assignee: Nick Dimiduk


Running {{hbck --repair}} when BucketCache is enabled in offheap mode can cause OOM. This is apparently because {{bin/hbase}} does not include $HBASE_REGIONSERVER_OPTS for hbck. It instantiates an HRegion instance as part of HDFSIntegrityFixer.handleHoleInRegionChain. That HRegion initializes its CacheConfig, which doesn't have the necessary Direct Memory.

Possible solutions include:
 - disable blockcache in the config used by hbck when running its repairs
 - include HBASE_REGIONSERVER_OPTS in the HBaseFSCK startup arguments

I'm leaning toward the former because it's possible that hbck is run on a host with the same hardware profile as the RS.
