flushCache should write to a tmp directory and then move into the store
directory
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HBASE-2729
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-2729
Project: HBase
Issue Type: Bug
Components: regionserver
Affects Versions: 0.21.0
Reporter: Todd Lipcon
Priority: Blocker
Currently it appears that internalFlushCache writes directly to the target spot
of the flushed data. The finally() block appends the metadata and closes the
file as if nothing bad went wrong in case of an exception. This is really bad,
since it means that an IOE in the middle of flushing cache could easily write a
valid looking file with only half the data, which would then prevent us from
recovering those edits during log replay.
Instead, it should flush to a tmp location and move it into the region dir only
after it's successfully written.
