Kannan Muthukkaruppan commented on HBASE-2244: ---------------------------------------------- (continued) Looking at the logs for the concerned RS, yes, at 8:49 due to some DFS errors the region server shut itself down. Basically this confirms that META's state wasn't the cause for the client errors. It would still be good to understand why parent row deletion takes time and fix any known inconsistencies in this area. But the original snippet I posted of .META. in and of itself doesn't seem to indicate a problem. But the comment Stack made about: <<<Also, if already a daughter region of same name in the FS, we'll fail the split rather than overwrite as it seems we should do (only reason for a pre-existing daughter is a split failed mid-way). I can add a check of .META. If daughter not there, its for sure a failed split. Let me see if I can improve stuff in here in general for 0.20 as part of this patch.>>>> seems would be worth addressing. > META gets inconsistent in a number of crash scenarios > ----------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-2244 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-2244 > Project: Hadoop HBase > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Kannan Muthukkaruppan > Assignee: stack > Priority: Critical > Fix For: 0.20.4 > > > (Forking this issue off from HBASE-2235). > During load testing, in a number of failure scenarios (unexpected region > server deaths) etc., we notice that META can get inconsistent.
