Sean Busbey updated HBASE-15563:
--------------------------------
Component/s: wal
> 'counter' may overflow in BoundedGroupingStrategy
> -------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HBASE-15563
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-15563
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: wal
> Reporter: Duo Zhang
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: beginner
>
> {code}
> groupName = groupNames[counter.getAndIncrement() % groupNames.length];
> {code}
> Theoretically, counter can overflow and becomes negative then causes an
> ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException.
> But in practice, we need 2 billions different identifiers to make this
> happen, and before the overflow we will run into OOM because of a huge
> groupNameCache...
> So not sure if it is worth to fix
