[jira] [Created] (HBASE-21894) Master doesn't update the meta state
as soon as the meta server dies

---------------------------------------
Summary: Master doesn't update the meta state as soon as the meta server dies
Key: HBASE-21894
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-21894
Project: HBase
Issue Type: Bug
Components: master, meta
Affects Versions: 3.0.0
Reporter: Bahram Chehrazy
Assignee: Bahram Chehrazy
If the active master crashes after meta server dies, there is a slight chance of master getting into a state where the ZK says meta is OPEN, but the server is dead and there is no active SCP to recover it (perhaps the SCP has aborted and the procWALs were corrupted). In this case the waitForMetaOnline never returns.
We've seen this happening a few times when there had been a temporary HDFS outage. Following log lines shows this state.
2019-01-17 18:55:48,497 WARN [master/************:16000:becomeActiveMaster] master.HMaster: hbase:meta,,1.1588230740 is NOT online; state=
{1588230740 *state=*OPEN**, ts=1547780128227, server=*************,16020,1547776821322}
; *ServerCrashProcedures=false*. Master startup cannot progress, in holding-pattern until region onlined.
I'm still investigating why and how to prevent getting into this bad state, but nevertheless the master should be able to recover during a restart by initiating a new SCP to fix the meta.
