Jean-Daniel Cryans commented on HBASE-2157: ------------------------------------------- Right the replacement is done in the region server and in this case it gets bypassed. > LATEST_TIMESTAMP not replaced by current timestamp in KeyValue > -------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-2157 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-2157 > Project: Hadoop HBase > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 0.20.2 > Environment: Hadoop 0.20.0 - Hbase 0.20.2 - Java(TM) SE Runtime > Environment (build 1.6.0_17-b04) > Reporter: Menno Luiten > > I was trying to bulk load using the new HFileOutputFormat. When using a > MapReduce in which map generates {{KeyValue}}s and reduce is equal to > KeyValueSortReducer, and using the constructor using (byte[] row, byte[] > family, byte[] qualifier, byte[] value), the (undefined) timestamp was > inserted as HConstants.LATEST_TIMESTAMP/Long.MAX_VALUE into HBase. This > causes all kinds of troubles, but most importantly, while the records were in > the table, other MapReduces (using TableInputFormat) and Hbase shell's > 'get'-command did not fetch them. Guess there is some sort of filtering of > future dates. > As I understood from St.Ack, the LASTEST_TIMESTAMP is supposed to be replaced > by System.currentTimeMillis(), but I don't see this reflected in the code of > KeyValue, and apparently it did not happen elsewhere; perhaps because there > is no actual HBase connection? -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
