             Summary: HBASE-17917 closes the scanners while a scan is in progess for switching over to stream reads
                 Key: HBASE-18055
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-18055
             Project: HBase
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: regionserver, Scanners
    Affects Versions: 2.0.0
            Reporter: ramkrishna.s.vasudevan
            Assignee: ramkrishna.s.vasudevan
             Fix For: 2.0.0


In HBASE-17917 tries to switch from pread to stream read when a specific size of bytes are read. So in order to switch over, it closes the existing scanners and creates a new scanners with pread=false.
When we close the exisitng scanners - if the blocks are served from offheap cache we will decrement the ref count on those blocks and if it becomes zero we make the block ready for eviction. Then there is a chance that the result could be corrupted if new blocks occupy the cache. So the expectation was that till the RPC call completes the response we will hold on to the blocks that are referred by the scan. (except the last one). So trying to switch over to stream read will break this expectation and hence TestBlockEvictionfromclient fails.
