             Summary: FSHLog may roll a new writer successfully with unflushed entries
                 Key: HBASE-17206
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-17206
             Project: HBase
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: wal
    Affects Versions: 2.0.0, 1.4.0
            Reporter: Duo Zhang
            Assignee: Duo Zhang
            Priority: Critical
             Fix For: 2.0.0, 1.4.0


Found it when debugging the flakey TestFailedAppendAndSync.

The problem is in waitSafePoint.
{code}
      while (true) {
        if (this.safePointAttainedLatch.await(1, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS)) {
          break;
        }
        if (syncFuture.isThrowable()) {
          throw new FailedSyncBeforeLogCloseException(syncFuture.getThrowable());
        }
      }
      return syncFuture;
{code}

If we attach the safe point quick enough then we will bypass the syncFuture.isThrowable check and will not throw FailedSyncBeforeLogCloseException.

This may cause incosistency between memstore and wal.
