> unverified
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: PHOENIX-5373
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PHOENIX-5373
> Project: Phoenix
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 5.0.0, 4.14.2
> Reporter: Kadir OZDEMIR
> Assignee: Kadir OZDEMIR
> Priority: Major
>
> For the ease of transition from the old global secondary index design to the
> new one (without having read performance impact), GlobalIndexChecker treats
> existing index rows (i.e., the rows created by the previous design) as
> verified. We have discovered that this would lead to keeping stale index rows
> around forever and including them in the result of queries. A stale index row
> is a row for which we do not have the corresponding data table row. The
> reason that we do not have the data table row is either the row is deleted
> (but not the corresponding index row(s)), or the data table and index rows
> are written with different timestamps. The assumption was that such rows
> would be fixed by index rebuild. Unfortunately, without dropping or
> truncating index tables, these stale rows may not be fixed by index rebuild.
> Thus, GlobalIndexChecker should treat the rows created by the previous design
> as unverified.
