-----------------------------------------
bq. I have a 0.98 patch for this. Will put for review.
Apparently the code base have moved forward since then, but curious if this
patch still would be relevant and useful here?
> Add Hbck option to check and fix WAL's from replication queue
> -------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HBASE-12125
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-12125
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Replication
> Reporter: Virag Kothari
> Assignee: Virag Kothari
>
> The replication source will discard the WAL file in many cases when it
> encounters an exception reading it . This can cause data loss
> and the underlying reason of failed read remains hidden. Only in certain
> scenarios, the replication source should dump the current WAL and move to the
> next one.
> This JIRA aims to have an hbck option to check the WAL files of replication
> queues for any inconsistencies and also provide an option to fix it.
> The fix can be to remove the file from replication queue in zk and from the
> memory of replication source manager and replication sources.
> A region server endpoint call from the hbck client to region server can be
> used to achieve this.
> Hbck can be configured with the following options:
> -softCheckReplicationWAL : Tries to open only the oldest WAL (the WAL
> currently read by replication source) from replication queue. If there is a
> position associated, it also seeks to that position and reads an entry from
> there
> -hardCheckReplicationWAL: Check all WAL paths from replication queues by
> reading them completely to make sure they are ok.
> -fixMissingReplicationWAL: Remove the WAL's from replication queues which are
> not present on hdfs
> -fixCorruptedReplicationWAL: Remove the WAL's from replication queues which
> are corrupted (based on the findings from softCheck/hardCheck). Also the
> WAL's are moved to a quarantine dir
> -rollAndFixCorruptedReplicationWAL - If the current WAL is corrupted, it is
> first rolled over and then deals with it in the same way as
> -fixCorruptedReplicationWAL option
