Poorna Chandra commented on TEPHRA-244:
---------------------------------------
https://github.com/apache/incubator-tephra/pull/55 - This PR just removes
regions of deleted tables when computing prune upper bound. This ensures that
transient tables do not block pruning. However, if a transient table is
created/deleted again with the same name and never gets a chance to be
compacted, then it has a potential to block pruning. Filed TEPHRA-254 to handle
such cases.
> Invalid tx pruning does not handle deletion of tables well

> Key: TEPHRA-244
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TEPHRA-244
> Project: Tephra
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: core, manager
> Affects Versions: 0.12.0-incubating
> Reporter: Andreas Neumann
> Assignee: Poorna Chandra
> Fix For: 0.13.0-incubating
>
>
> Suppose an application regularly creates and deletes tables (for example,
> temporary tables). In such a scenario, there will always be such a temporary
> table when pruning runs, and its regions will be recorded for that time.
> However, the region will be deleted before it ever compacts or flushes, and
> it will never record prune information. Because all prune times have such
> regions, there will never be a set of transactional regions that all have
> prune info, and pruning will never happen.
> The fix is to exclude deleted tables from the list of regions at each time.
> This is all regions of deleted tables (tables that do not exist any more),
> not deleted regions: a region may disappear due to a split and its data will
> be in new regions.
