Heng Chen commented on HBASE-14915:
-----------------------------------

I found something interesting.
Each failed test in TestImportExport always has a lot of logs like below,  this 
happens when we do import hdfs files into HTable.
{code}
2015-12-05 22:09:23,634 INFO  
[asf907.gq1.ygridcore.net,60842,1449352499962_ChoreService_1] 
regionserver.HRegionServer$PeriodicMemstoreFlusher(1585): 
asf907.gq1.ygridcore.net,60842,1449352499962-MemstoreFlusherChore requesting 
flush of hbase:meta,,1.1588230740 because info has an old edit so flush to free 
WALs after random delay 5699ms
2015-12-05 22:09:24,729 INFO  
[asf907.gq1.ygridcore.net,60842,1449352499962_ChoreService_1]

asf907.gq1.ygridcore.net,60842,1449352499962-MemstoreFlusherChore requesting 
flush of hbase:meta,,1.1588230740 because info has an old edit so flush to free 
WALs after random delay 81344ms
{code}

Relates code in HRegion#shouldFlush
{code:title=HRegion.java}
  boolean shouldFlush(final StringBuffer whyFlush) {
    ....
    for (Store s : getStores()) {
      if (s.timeOfOldestEdit() < now - modifiedFlushCheckInterval) {
        // we have an old enough edit in the memstore, flush
        whyFlush.append(s.toString() + " has an old edit so flush to free 
WALs");
        return true;
      }
    }
    return false;
  }
{code}
As log shows, it seems that PeriodicMemstoreFlusher  send a lot of same 
FlushRequest to MemStoreFlusher,  and the request will store into one queue in 
MemStoreFlusher.
So i guess memory exceeds the limit of container, so we can see log 
{code}
2015-12-05 22:08:56,440 WARN  [ContainersLauncher #5] 
nodemanager.DefaultContainerExecutor(207): Exit code from container 
container_1449352527830_0013_01_000002 is : 143
{code} 

Maybe we should avoid send same flush request or send it periodical,  thoughts?
