Alex Newman commented on HBASE-1364:
------------------------------------

So as I understand it, processServerShutdown always runs one split at a time 
due to locking issues. I would prefer if we were to relax this requirement that 
it be done in a separate jira. Any objections? What else should I do here to 
move things forward. I think the only thing that needs to be done is 

- Add some more tests (suggestions)
- switch all calls from splitLog to distributedSplitLog

> HBASE-1008 has some improvements to our log splitting on regionserver crash; 
> but it needs to run even faster.
> (Below is from HBASE-1008)
> In bigtable paper, the split is distributed. If we're going to have 1000 
> logs, we need to distribute or at least multithread the splitting.
> 1. As is, regions starting up expect to find one reconstruction log only. 
> Need to make it so pick up a bunch of edit logs and it should be fine that 
> logs are elsewhere in hdfs in an output directory written by all split 
> participants whether multithreaded or a mapreduce-like distributed process 
> (Lets write our distributed sort first as a MR so we learn whats involved; 
> distributed sort, as much as possible should use MR framework pieces). On 
> startup, regions go to this directory and pick up the files written by split 
> participants deleting and clearing the dir when all have been read in. Making 
> it so can take multiple logs for input, can also make the split process more 
> robust rather than current tenuous process which loses all edits if it 
> doesn't make it to the end without error.
> 2. Each column family rereads the reconstruction log to find its edits. Need 
> to fix that. Split can sort the edits by column family so store only reads 
> its edits.
