-----------------------------------------
Summary: Master should fail-safe if starting with a pre 0.96 layout
Key: HBASE-11726
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-11726
Project: HBase
Issue Type: Bug
Components: master
Affects Versions: 0.98.5, 0.96.2, 0.99.0, 2.0.0
Reporter: Esteban Gutierrez
Assignee: Esteban Gutierrez
Priority: Critical
We recently saw this: If user inadvertently starts the HBase Master after
deploying new HBase binaries (any version that supports namespaces), the
HMaster will start the migration to PBs the the {{hbase.version}} file per
HBASE-5453 and that will write a new version file PB-serialized but with the
old version number. Further restarts of the master will fail because the hbase
version file has been migrated to PBs and there will be version mismatch. The
right approach should be to fail safe the master if we find an old
{{hbase.version}} file in order to force user to run upgrade tool.
