             Summary: The AbstractTableInputFormat#nextRecord in hbase connector will handle the same rowkey twice once encountered any exception
                 Key: FLINK-14941
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-14941
             Project: Flink
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Zheng Hu


In the mail list [1].   The user complain that it will see the same row twice if encountered any HBase exception. 
The problem is here: 
{code}
public T nextRecord(T reuse) throws IOException {
		if (resultScanner == null) {
			throw new IOException("No table result scanner provided!");
		}
		try {
			Result res = resultScanner.next();
			if (res != null) {
				scannedRows++;
				currentRow = res.getRow();
				return mapResultToOutType(res);
			}
		} catch (Exception e) {
			resultScanner.close();
			//workaround for timeout on scan
			LOG.warn("Error after scan of " + scannedRows + " rows. Retry with a new scanner...", e);
			scan.setStartRow(currentRow);
			resultScanner = table.getScanner(scan);
			Result res = resultScanner.next();
			if (res != null) {
				scannedRows++;
				currentRow = res.getRow();
				return mapResultToOutType(res);
			}
		}

		endReached = true;
		return null;
	}
{code}

We will set the startRow of the new scan to the currentRow which has been seen,  that means the currentRow will be seen twice.   Actually, we should replace the scan.setStartRow(currentRow) as scan.withStartRow(currentRow, false) , the false means exclude the currentRow.
