> Incorrect sequence number for cache flush
> -----------------------------------------

> Key: HBASE-663
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-663
> Project: Hadoop HBase
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: regionserver
> Affects Versions: 0.1.2, 0.2.0
> Reporter: Ning Li
> Assignee: Jim Kellerman
> Priority: Blocker
> Fix For: 0.1.3, 0.2.0

>
> An HRegion asks each HStore to flush its cache with a sequence number X. The
> assumption is that all the updates before X will be flushed. So during the
> startup reconstruction, the updates before X are skipped.
> The use of updatesLock should guarantee that all the updates before X will be
> flushed when HStore flushes with X - snapshots are taken after the write lock
> on updatesLock is acquired, while all the updates are written to the log and
> to the cache with the read lock on updatesLock is acquired. However, because
> the sequence number X is obtained without the write lock on updatesLock, some
> updates with sequence number <= X may not have been written to the cache
> which will be flushed.
