-------------------------------
Are you running with this patch applied then [~zhoushuaifeng2]? Does it for
sure help? You have some evidence you could paste in here? Why you think we are
not selecting the reference files when we go to compact? This is a 0.98
version of hbase? I thought we tried to compact away the reference files first?
Thanks.
> Region may grow too big and can not be split

> Components: Compaction, regionserver
> Affects Versions: 1.1.2, 0.98.15

> When a compaction completed, may there are also many storefiles in the store,
> and CompactPriority < 0, then compactSplitThread will do a "Recursive
> enqueue" compaction request instead of request a split:
> {code:title=CompactSplitThread.java|borderStyle=solid}
> if (completed) {
> // degenerate case: blocked regions require recursive enqueues
> if (store.getCompactPriority() <= 0) {
> requestSystemCompaction(region, store, "Recursive enqueue");
> } else {
> // see if the compaction has caused us to exceed max region size
> requestSplit(region);
> }
> {code}
> But in some situation, the "recursive enqueue" request may return null, and
> not build up a new compaction runner. For example, an other compaction of the
> same region is running, and compaction selection will exclude all files older
> than the newest files currently compacting, this may cause no enough files
> can be selected by the "recursive enqueue" request. When this happen, split
> will not be trigged. If the input load is high enough, compactions aways
> running on the region, and split will never be triggered.
> In our cluster, this situation happened, and a huge region more than 400GB
> and 100+ storefiles appeared. Version is 0.98.10, and the trank also have the
> problem.
