Jeffrey Zhong commented on HBASE-11099:
---------------------------------------
[[email protected]] Is that possible that we assign the sequence number in
AppendNoSync call without late binding assignment because the order of changes
in the "ring buffer" will be preserved till real WAL sync?
> Two situations where we could open a region with smaller sequence number

> Key: HBASE-11099
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-11099
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: regionserver
> Affects Versions: 0.99.0
> Reporter: Jeffrey Zhong
> Fix For: 0.99.0
>
>
> Recently I happened to run into code where we potentially could open region
> with smaller sequence number:
> 1) Inside function: HRegion#internalFlushcache. This is due to we change the
> way WAL Sync where we use late binding(assign sequence number right before
> wal sync).
> The flushSeqId may less than the change sequence number included in the flush
> which may cause later region opening code to use a smaller than expected
> sequence number when we reopen the region.
> {code}
> flushSeqId = this.sequenceId.incrementAndGet();
> ...
> mvcc.waitForRead(w);
> {code}
> 2) HRegion#replayRecoveredEdits where we have following code:
> {code}
> ...
> if (coprocessorHost != null) {
> status.setStatus("Running pre-WAL-restore hook in coprocessors");
> if (coprocessorHost.preWALRestore(this.getRegionInfo(), key,
> val)) {
> // if bypass this log entry, ignore it ...
> continue;
> }
> }
> ...
> currentEditSeqId = key.getLogSeqNum();
> {code}
> If coprocessor skip some tail WALEdits, then the function will return smaller
> currentEditSeqId. In the end, a region may also open with a smaller sequence
> number. This may cause data loss because Master may record a larger flushed
> sequence Id and some WALEdits maybe skipped during recovery if the region
> fail again.
