[jira] [Comment Edited] (HBASE-21464) Splitting blocked with meta NSRE during split transaction

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-21464?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16705565#comment-16705565 ]

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

I don't think recursive region relocation works the way we are all expecting, that when we NSRE on meta we will always end up in ConnectionManager#locateMeta with useCache = false. The sum of recursive region relocation code is hard to understand and should be rewritten. I'm not going to do that today. What I do have is a patch that works reliably to fix the issue in my test environment when meta is moved during split activity while preserving the intents of HBASE-10785 (don't overload zookeeper with lookups by looking up meta every time) and HBASE-19260 (don't overload zookeeper with unnecessary concurrent lookups). There is a new limit on cache entry age for meta, hardcoded to 10 seconds (should it be configurable? I don't think it matters much...), to prevent getting stuck on a stale meta location. Consider it a safety valve we need while continuing to look at this problem.

How to reproduce:
 * Run a load client. I use YCSB with 100 threads. The test table is named "test".
 * In the HBase shell: while true ; do sleep 30 ; balancer ; flush 'test'; compact 'test' ; split 'test' ; balancer ; done

You've hit the problem when the result of the shell 'balancer' command is always false. Go to the master, you'll find a split in progress that can't finish. Go to the regionserver attempting the split and you'll find the split worker going back again and again to the regionserver no longer hosting meta looking for meta.
