-----------------------------

             Summary: LoadTestTool need to have a way to ignore keys which were failed during write. 
                 Key: HBASE-9108
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-9108
             Project: HBase
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: test
    Affects Versions: 0.94.10, 0.94.9, 0.95.1, 0.95.0
            Reporter: gautam
            Assignee: gautam
            Priority: Critical


While running the chaosmonkey integration tests, it is found that write sometimes fails when the cluster components are restarted/stopped/killed etc..
The data key which was being put, using the LoadTestTool, is added to the failed key set, and at the end of the test, this failed key set is checked for any entries to assert failures.

While doing fail-over testing, it is expected that some of the keys may go un-written. The point here is to validate that whatever gets into hbase for an unstable cluster really goes in, and hence read should be 100% for whatever keys went in successfully.

Currently LoadTestTool has strict checks to validate every key being written or not. In case any keys is not written, it fails.
I wanted to loosen this constraint by allowing users to pass in a set of exceptions they expect when doing put/write operations over hbase. If one of these expected exception set is thrown while writing key to hbase, the failed key would be ignored, and hence wont even be considered again for subsequent write as well as read.
This can be passed to the load test tool as csv list parameter -allowed_write_exceptions, or it can be passed through hbase-site.xml by writing a value for "test.ignore.exceptions.during.write"

Here is the usage:
-allowed_write_exceptions "java.io.EOFException,org.apache.hadoop.hbase.NotServingRegionException,org.apache.hadoop.hbase.client.NoServerForRegionException,org.apache.hadoop.hbase.ipc.ServerNotRunningYetException"

Hence, by doing this the existing integration tests can also make use of this change by passing it as property in hbase-site.xml, as well.
