+# HBASE  2.1.6 Release Notes
+
+These release notes cover new developer and user-facing incompatibilities, 
important issues, features, and major improvements.
+
+
+---
+
+* [HBASE-22777](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-22777) | *Major* | 
**Add a multi-region merge (for fixing overlaps, etc.)**
+
+Changes merge so you can merge more than two regions at a time.  Currently 
only available inside HBase. HBASE-22827, a follow-on, is about exposing the 
facility in the Admin API (and then via the shell).

| **WAL corruption due to early DBBs re-use when Durability.ASYNC\_WAL is used**
+
+We found a critical bug which can lead to WAL corruption when 
Durability.ASYNC\_WAL is used. The reason is that we release a ByteBuffer 
before actually persist the content into WAL file.
+
+The problem maybe lead to several errors, for example, ArrayIndexOfOutBounds 
when replaying WAL. This is because that the ByteBuffer is reused by others.
+
+ERROR org.apache.hadoop.hbase.executor.EventHandler: Caught throwable while 
processing event RS\_LOG\_REPLAY
+java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 18056
+        at org.apache.hadoop.hbase.KeyValue.getFamilyLength(KeyValue.java:1365)

+        at 
org.apache.hadoop.hbase.regionserver.SplitLogWorker$1.exec(SplitLogWorker.java:100)
+
+And may even cause segmentation fault and crash the JVM directly. You will see 
a hs\_err\_pidXXX.log file and usually the problem is SIGSEGV. This is usually 
because that the ByteBuffer has already been returned to the OS and used for 
other purpose.
+
+The problem has been reported several times in the past and this time 
Wellington Ramos Chevreuil provided the full logs and deeply analyzed the logs 
so we can find the root cause. And Lijin Bin figured out that the problem may 
only happen when Durability.ASYNC\_WAL is used. Thanks to them.
+
+The problem only effects the 2.x releases, all users are highly recommand to 
upgrade to a release which has this fix in, especially that if you use 
Durability.ASYNC\_WAL.

+* [HBASE-22771](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-22771) | *Major* | 
**[HBCK2] fixMeta method and server-side support**
+
+Adds a fixMeta method to hbck Service. Fixes holes in hbase:meta. Follow-up to 
fix overlaps.
+
+Follow-on is adding a client-side to hbase-operator-tools that can exploit 
this new addition (HBASE-22825)

+
+* [HBASE-22737](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-22737) | *Major* | 
**Add a new admin method and shell cmd to trigger the hbck chore to run**
+
+Add a new method runHbckChore in Hbck interface and a new shell cmd 
hbck\_chore\_run to request HBCK chore to run at master side.
+
+

+
+* [HBASE-22741](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-22741) | *Major* | 
**Show catalogjanitor consistency complaints in new 'HBCK Report' page**
+
+Adds a "CatalogJanitor hbase:meta Consistency Issues" section to the new 'HBCK 
Report' page added by HBASE-22709. This section is empty unless the most recent 
CatalogJanitor scan turned up problems. If so, will show table of issues found.
+
+
+---
+
+* [HBASE-22723](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-22723) | *Major* | 
**Have CatalogJanitor report holes and overlaps; i.e. problems it sees when 
doing its regular scan of hbase:meta**
+
+When CatalogJanitor runs, it now checks for holes, overlaps, empty 
info:regioninfo columns and bad servers. Dumps findings into log. Follow-up 
adds report to new 'HBCK Report' linked off the Master UI.
+
+NOTE: All features but the badserver check made it into branch-2.1 and 
branch-2.0 backports.
+
+
+---
+
+* [HBASE-22709](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-22709) | *Major* | 
**Add a chore thread in master to do hbck checking and display results in 'HBCK 
Report' page**
+
+1. Add a new chore thread in master to do hbck checking
+2. Add a new web ui "HBCK Report" page to display checking results.
+
+This feature is enabled by default. And the hbck chore run per 60 minutes by 
default. You can config "hbase.master.hbck.checker.interval" to a value lesser 
than or equal to 0 for disabling the chore.
+
+Notice: the config "hbase.master.hbck.checker.interval" was renamed to 
"hbase.master.hbck.chore.interval" in HBASE-22737.

**[hbck2] Add a master web ui to show the problematic regions**
+
+Add a new master web UI to show the potentially problematic opened regions. 
There are three case:
+1. Master thought this region opened, but no regionserver reported it.
+2. Master thought this region opened on Server1, but regionserver reported 
Server2
+3. More than one regionservers reported opened this region

+* [HBASE-22610](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-22610) | *Trivial* 
| **[BucketCache] Rename "hbase.offheapcache.minblocksize"**
+
+The config point "hbase.offheapcache.minblocksize" was wrong and is now 
deprecated. The new config point is "hbase.blockcache.minblocksize".
+
+
+---
+
+* [HBASE-22690](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-22690) | *Major* | 
**Deprecate / Remove OfflineMetaRepair in hbase-2+**
+
+OfflineMetaRepair is no longer supported in HBase-2+. Please refer to 
https://hbase.apache.org/book.html#HBCK2
+
+This tool is deprecated in 2.x and will be removed in 3.0.
+
+
+---
+
+* [HBASE-22617](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-22617) | *Blocker* 
| **Recovered WAL directories not getting cleaned up**
+
+In HBASE-20734 we moved the recovered.edits onto the wal file system but when 
constructing the directory we missed the BASE\_NAMESPACE\_DIR('data'). So when 
using the default config, you will find that there are lots of new directories 
at the same level with the 'data' directory.
+
+In this issue, we add the BASE\_NAMESPACE\_DIR back, and also try our best to 
clean up the wrong directories. But we can only clean up the region level 
directories, so if you want a clean fs layout on HDFS you still need to 
manually delete the empty directories at the same level with 'data'.
+
+The effect versions are 2.2.0, 2.1.[1-5], 1.4.[8-10], 1.3.[3-5].
+
+

+
+* [HBASE-22596](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-22596) | *Minor* | 
**[Chore] Separate the execution period between CompactionChecker and 
PeriodicMemStoreFlusher**
+
+hbase.regionserver.compaction.check.period is used for controlling how often 
the compaction checker runs. If unset, will use 
hbase.server.thread.wakefrequency as default value.
+
+hbase.regionserver.flush.check.period is used for controlling how ofter the 
flush checker runs. If unset, will use hbase.server.thread.wakefrequency as 
default value.
+
+

+
+* [HBASE-21536](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-21536) | *Trivial* 
| **Fix completebulkload usage instructions**
+
+Added completebulkload short name for BulkLoadHFilesTool to bin/hbase.

| **Provide an alternative to CellUtil.setTimestamp**
+
+<!-- markdown -->
+
+The `CellUtil.setTimestamp` method changes to be an API with audience 
`LimitedPrivate(COPROC)` in HBase 3.0. With that designation the API should 
remain stable within a given minor release line, but may change between minor 
releases.
+
+Previously, this method was deprecated in HBase 2.0 for removal in HBase 3.0. 
Deprecation messages in HBase 2.y releases have been updated to indicate the 
expected API audience change.

 * [HBASE-21991](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-21991) | *Major* | 
**Fix MetaMetrics issues - [Race condition, Faulty remove logic], few 
improvements**
 
 The class LossyCounting was unintentionally marked Public but was never 
intended to be part of our public API. This oversight has been corrected and 
LossyCounting is now marked as Private and going forward may be subject to 
additional breaking changes or removal without notice. If you have taken a 
dependency on this class we recommend cloning it locally into your project 
before upgrading to this release.
