-------------------------------
Summary: Backport HBASE-22480 to branch-2.1
Key: HBASE-23950
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-23950
Project: HBase
Issue Type: Bug
Components: BucketCache
Affects Versions: 2.1.9
Reporter: Kai Xie
My HBase 2.0/2.1 cluster experienced severe performance drop after running
reversed scanning for days. When debug into regionserver logs, it appears the
bucket cache is full for every ~100 ms and its eviction can't work properly
because ref count has become negative:
{code:java}
(every ~100 ms)
Free started because "Full!"
This block AAA is still referred by -1 readers. Cannot be freed now
This block BBB is still referred by -2 readers. Cannot be freed now
This block CCC is still referred by -3 readers. Cannot be freed now
...
This block ... is still referred by (negative number) readers. Cannot be freed
now
{code}
There have been patches HBASE-22480 addressing this ref count problem in 2.2+.
I'd like to backport it to 2.1 (understand that 2.0 is EOL)
