Todd Lipcon commented on HBASE-2358:
------------------------------------
eh, I'm sensitive to the needs of people running in production who can tolerate
a bit of dataloss. For them, the bandaid makes sense. I opened HBASE-2363 to
discuss maybe making band-aids a tunable option.

> doReconstructionLog doesn't handle empty files correctly:
> {code}
> FileStatus stat = this.fs.getFileStatus(reconstructionLog);
> if (stat.getLen() <= 0) {
> LOG.warn("Passed reconstruction log " + reconstructionLog +
> " is zero-length. Deleting existing file");
> fs.delete(reconstructionLog, false);
> return -1;
> }
> {code}
> Notice it actually compares the length of the array instead of the file
> length.
> It should call getLen() and delete the file afterwards
> {code}
> FileStatus stat = this.fs.getFileStatus(reconstructionLog);
> if (stat.getLen() <= 0) {
> LOG.warn("Passed reconstruction log " + reconstructionLog +
> " is zero-length. Deleting existing file");
> fs.delete(reconstructionLog, false);
> return -1;
> }
> {code}
> Also. This is a situation that shouldn't happen as an empty oldlogfile.log
> should be deleted when HMaster does the split in HLog.splitLog().
> I couldn't figure what would make it leave it there as I also see in the logs
> that other empty logs are deleted. This might expose a thornier situation.
