stack commented on HBASE-11815:
-------------------------------

Patch lgtm.  We failing when we try to add the metadata after getting an IOE?  
That would make sense.  Should we do this on every IOE?  Will we have files 
that are half-written [~ram_krish] w/o their metadata?  Do they get cleaned up 
on IOE?  If so, +1.

> Flush and compaction could just close the tmp writer if there is an exception
