[jira] [Commented] (ACCUMULO-444) Data loss possible when tablet killed immediately after recovery

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-444?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13222743#comment-13222743 ] 

Keith Turner commented on ACCUMULO-444:
---------------------------------------

I think ACCUMULO-388 would have made this bug show up sooner in testing.

> Came in after a weekend of running test to find the Shard random walk test had lost data in its index table.  After debugging I found the following sequence of events occurred.
>  * Mutation X was written to shard index on Tablet T1
>  * X was minor compacted to file F1
>  * Tablet server serving T1 was killed
>  * When T1 came up on another tablet server, it did not know about F1
> The above sequence of events indicate that the !METADATA table lost data.  So I started looking into that, and found the following sequence of events.
>  * Tablet server T1 serving METADATA tablet MT was killed
>  * MT comes up on another tablet server T2
>  * Mutation Y is written to MT about file F1 for tablet T1
>  * Tablet server T2 is killed.
>  * MT comes up in tablet server T3
>  * The mutations for MT from T1 are recovered, but not from T2.. therefore Y is lost
> There is code that supposed to handle this situation, but its not working... I think this issue exist in 1.3
> Data loss is not certain in this situation.  In the scenario above, when MT is loaded on T2 a minor compaction is started.  If the server is killed before this minor compaction completes then data loss will likely occur.
