-----------------------------------

I don't think finally be closed is enough, since the replication queue recover
will start as soon as Master detects RS crash and issue the recovery task.

HBase uses NN to do fencing which means HMaster will only consider an RS is
dead when all of its WAL file is closed.

> Key: HBASE-14004
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-14004
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: regionserver
> Reporter: He Liangliang
> Priority: Critical
> Labels: replication, wal
>
> Looks like the current write path can cause inconsistency between
> memstore/hfile and WAL which cause the slave cluster has more data than the
> master cluster.
> The simplified write path looks like:
> 1. insert record into Memstore
> 2. write record to WAL
> 3. sync WAL
> 4. rollback Memstore if 3 fails
> It's possible that the HDFS sync RPC call fails, but the data is already
> (may partially) transported to the DNs which finally get persisted. As a
> result, the handler will rollback the Memstore and the later flushed HFile
> will also skip this record.
