> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 0.20.0
> Reporter: ryan rawson
> Assignee: stack
> Fix For: 0.20.1
>
>
> when a Scanner is created, it creates 2 MemStoreScanners on the kvset and the
> snapshot (internal names of Memstore)... if the snapshot is originally empty,
> it only creates the 1, for kvset. When the snapshot is created, the
> outstanding Scanners now have a pointer to the tree that is now the snapshot,
> but no pointer to the kvset.
> When the flush completes, the scanner will reset the memstore scanners and
> 'see' the new values again.
> If there is a large delay between snapshot and finalization of the flush,
> there can be a large period of time a scanner doesnt see 'new' values that
> are being inserted. the canonical 'bad' case where this can do things is the
> META scanner, and we end up with double assignment.
> The snapshot is really lightweight, it only takes out a small lock in
> memstore, so im not sure there is an easy mechanism to hook to without
> building out a bit more code or restructuring the memstore scanner.
