             Summary: Local Index data not replicating for older HBase versions (<= HBase 1.2)
                 Key: PHOENIX-5295
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PHOENIX-5295
             Project: Phoenix
          Issue Type: Bug
         Environment: Branch 4.14-cdh5.11
            Reporter: Hieu Nguyen


Copied from email thread https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/7ab1d9489eca2ab2b974948fbe60b143fda432ef7dfc603528d460f2@%3Cuser.phoenix.apache.org%3E.

We are on Phoenix 4.14-cdh5.11.  We are experiencing an issue where local index data is not being replicated through HBase replication.  As suggested in a previous email thread (https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/984fba3c8abd944846deefb3ea285195e0436b9181b9779feac39b59@%3Cuser.phoenix.apache.org%3E), we have enabled replication for the local indexes (the "L#0" column family on the same table).  We wrote an integration test to demonstrate this issue on top of 4.14-cdh5.11 branch (https://github.com/hnguyen08/phoenix/commit/3589cb45d941c6909fb3deb5f5abb0f8dfa78dd7).

After some investigation and debugging, we discovered the following:
1. Commit a2f4d7eebec621b58204a9eb78d552f18dcbcf24 (PHOENIX-3827) fixed the issue, but only in Phoenix for HBase1.3+.  It uses the miniBatchOp.addOperationsFromCP() API introduced in HBase1.3.  Unfortunately, for the time being, we are stuck on cdh5.11 (based on HBase1.2).
2. IndexUtil.writeLocalUpdates() is called in both implementations of IndexCommitter, both taking skipWAL=true.  It seems like we'd actually want to not skip WAL to ensure that local-index updates are replicated correctly (since, as mentioned in the above email thread, "HBase-level replication of the data table will not trigger index updates").  After changing the skipWAL flag to false, the above integration test passes.
