***UNCHECKED*** [jira] [Commented] (HBASE-20919) meta region can't be re-onlined when restarting cluster if opening rsgroup

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-20919?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16555265#comment-16555265 ] 

chenyang commented on HBASE-20919:
----------------------------------

hi, [~elserj]. Thanks for your suggestions.

Q:"What about failing fast here, and having the caller decide how to handle the retry logic? AssignmentManager should already have logic to do this."

A: Fast failing is a better solution, AssignmentManager catches HBaseIOException and re-add to PendingAssignmentQueue. Codes showed below in processAssignmentPlans() method:

 
{code:java}
try {
  acceptPlan(regions, balancer.retainAssignment(retainMap, servers));
} catch (HBaseIOException e) {
  LOG.warn("unable to retain assignment", e);
  addToPendingAssignment(regions, retainMap.keySet());
}
//or
try {
  acceptPlan(regions, balancer.roundRobinAssignment(hris, servers));
} catch (HBaseIOException e) {
  LOG.warn("unable to round-robin assignment", e);
  addToPendingAssignment(regions, hris);
}{code}
I will submit a new patch which implements fast failing.

 

Q: "RSGroupLoadBalancer doesn't get initialized until after hbase:meta gets assigned, but hbase:meta can't be assigned until the RSGroupLoadBalancer is initialized so we soft-lock. "

A: I debug the initialization of rsgroup and test some cases. The initialization process is executed in a independent Thread. For the moment,  I don`t find soft-lock. But I think it is risk still.

Q: "This is hard because, while I don't disagree with Stack's comment about StochasticLB to RSGroupLB, the Master using the LoadBalancer before it was initialized is bad"

A: According my tests, it works to initialize balancers before calling startServiceThreads which starts ProcedureExecutor during HMaster`s finishActiveMasterInitialization method. But I can not make sure it`s ok for other cases. Maybe It needs more tests to do. So, I think the risks are lower to modify RSGroupBasedLoadBalancer. I will re-submit the patch which initializes balancers before calling startServiceThreads for reference only.

Q: "Do you have more logs you can share? "

A: I will offer whole logs and steps along with new patch. Because it need start, stop, and restart whole master to test the case, so i don`t know how to offer unit tests, do you or anyone have some suggestions?

> The logs show that hbase:meta region is not online and rsgroup keeps retrying to initialize.

>  but why the hbase:meta region is not online?
>  The info-level logs and jstack had not enough infomation, so I added some debug logs in test-source-code. Then i checked the master`s logs and region server`s logs, and found the meta region assign procedure which hold the meta region lock not completed and not released the lock forever, so the recoverMetaProcedure could not be executed. 
>   
>  Why the first procedure not completed and not released meta region lock?
>  In the test logs, i found when assignmentManager assigned the region, it need to call the rsgroup balancer which  have not been initialized completely, so throw NPE.  As a result, the procedure not completed and not released the lock forever.

> As shown in the figure named bug2.png listed in attachments, when we shutdown the last region server, the master submit a ServerCrashProcedure. In the procedure, it will reassign hbase:meta region, but at that moment, there is no online region server, so the procedure can not be executed completely. Then we shut down master, the ServerCrashProcedure and it`a subProcedures are stored into procedureStore.
>   
>  When we restart master, at first,  the master blocks waiting for becoming active master.  after becoming active master, it starts procedureExecutor. The procedureExecutor start to read procedure from procedureStore and the pre serverCrashProcedure submit a assign region task to assignmentManager`s queue. The processQueue thread and active-master thread block waiting for online region servers. when we start a region server, the active-master thread do some operations and init rsgroup balancer.  At the same time, the processQueue thread start to call balancer. If the processQueue thread run faster than active master,  the processQueue thread will throw NPE.  As a result, the procedure not complete and not release hbase:meta region lock forever.
>   
>   Now, my solution is  that initializing the balancer before calling startServiceThreads in finishActiveMasterInitialization() of HMaster.But this may have some side effects for master.
>   Based on stack`s suggestion, i re-submit a new patch which waiting for initializing rsgroup balancer before calling balance-methods.
