---------------------------------------
Nice catch. I've stolen some of the test code from
TestHFileInlineToRootChunkConversion. Should have read the bottom part first.
> HFile intermediate block level indexes might recurse forever creating multi
> TB files

> Mighty [~elserj] was debugging an opentsdb cluster where some region
> directory ended up having 5TB+ files under <regiondir>/.tmp/
> Further debugging and analysis, we were able to reproduce the problem locally
> where we never we recursing in this code path for writing intermediate level
> indices:
> {code:title=HFileBlockIndex.java}
> if (curInlineChunk != null) {
> while (rootChunk.getRootSize() > maxChunkSize) {
> rootChunk = writeIntermediateLevel(out, rootChunk);
> numLevels += 1;
> }
> }
> {code}
> The problem happens if we end up with a very large rowKey (larger than
> "hfile.index.block.max.size" being the first key in the block, then moving
> all the way to the root-level index building. We will keep writing and
> building the next level of intermediate level indices with a single
> very-large key. This can happen in flush / compaction / region recovery
> causing cluster inoperability due to ever-growing files.
> Seems the issue was also reported earlier, with a temporary workaround:
> https://github.com/OpenTSDB/opentsdb/issues/490
