[jira] [Commented] (HBASE-16799) CP exposed Store should not expose unwanted APIs

["Anoop Sam John (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-16799?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15561531#comment-15561531 ] 

Anoop Sam John commented on HBASE-16799:
----------------------------------------

Any CP code is not supposed to call these APIs any way. If called, they might create issues at some time. So removing the APIs from 2.0 even if it is a BC break. Let us just deprecate the APIs in branch-1

> Store is exposed to CPs. The main use cases I can think of are getting store scanner and other getters which return different states like memstore size, max seqId etc. Those make sense.
> But we added many other APIs which changes the state of the memstore, bulk load files etc into this interface.  Even an API which expose the memstore itself!.  This allow adding mutations into memstore bypassing all steps in region. We track the memstore size per region level as well as globally. These only allow us to flush region at sizes and/or flush selected regions because of global heap pressure. Now if a CP get hold of store and/or memstore, it can add mutations with out knowledge of these size accounting and possibly OOME the RS.  Similar way the bulk load related APIs. At HRegion level, there are steps done (WAL write etc) after the bulk load HFile on store. So bypassing these wont be correct.
> In this jira, plan is to remove all such leaked APIs from Store. They are called from HRegion and we can type cast to HStore to call them.
