Jerry He commented on HBASE-8760:
---------------------------------
I had seen the problem on a 0.94 live cluster. It happened when there was heavy
write load on the cluster
while the snapshot was taken.
Later to re-create the problem, I had to suspend the compaction thread manually
so that right after region
split the new regions would not be compacted right away.
I have not got a chance to do testing on this patch yet.
> possible loss of data in snapshot taken after region split

> Right after a region split but before the daughter regions are compacted, we
> have two daughter regions containing Reference files to the parent hfiles.
> If we take snapshot right at the moment, the snapshot will succeed, but it
> will only contain the daughter Reference files. Since there is no hold on the
> parent hfiles, they will be deleted by the HFile Cleaner after they are no
> longer needed by the daughter regions soon after.
> A minimum we need to do is the keep these parent hfiles from being deleted.
