[jira] Created: (HBASE-1149) Dataloss when master and region server die at same time

Dataloss when master and region server die at same time
-------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: HBASE-1149
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-1149
             Project: Hadoop HBase
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 0.19.0
            Reporter: Ben Maurer


To reproduce:

1) Run HBase in standalone mode
2)

create 'foo', 'bar'

3) kill -9 the HBase server

4) Restart hbase

The table 'foo' will not exist.

Apparently this problem happens because the master and region servers die at the same time. To me that suggests a fairly large flaw -- if your cluster has a systematic failure (say, a power outage) it would cause data loss.

stack commented on HBASE-1149:
------------------------------

Yeah, known issue particular acute in standalone mode where master and regionserver run in same process.  HADOOP-4379 means we lose edits still until 0.19.1 hopefully.  Also, HBASE-698 makes it so we don't recover if master is killed (this functionality is currently being worked on as part of the zookeeper integration and should be added or hbase 0.20.0).
