Karthik Ranganathan commented on HBASE-2231:
--------------------------------------------

Just wanted to attach evidence to the issue pointed out by Todd - "the 
regionserver also rolls its HLog right after the pause. In this case, the 
master might not catch the rolled HLog file, and the RS wouldn't be properly 
interrupted"

>From an email exchange between a few of us:

> Look at these snippets from the log:

> This means master did not take possession of the latest hlog. So the RS 
> actually appended into the log AFTER the zk timeout happened. The suggestion 
> from yesterday's discussion (first open the last hlog) should take care of 
> this edit.


> Compaction events should be written to HLog

>             Project: Hadoop HBase
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: regionserver
>            Reporter: Todd Lipcon
>
> The sequence for a compaction should look like this:
> # Compact region to "new" files
> # Write a "Compacted Region" entry to the HLog
> # Delete "old" files
> This deals with a case where the RS has paused between step 1 and 2 and the 
> regions have since been reassigned.
