Enis Soztutar commented on HBASE-16138:
---------------------------------------
This is a hard one. Having a dependency for the replication table to be online
for RS start or region opening would bring all sorts of problems. We have some
solutions for that for meta already which has its prioritized assignment,
separate WAL, priority RPC scheduling, etc. Even for opening the replication
region can be stuck behind other regions (HBASE-16095).
If we do #1 as above for example, there will be another type of deadlock where
if we have 100 handler threads, and all a blocked on a single RPC to the
replication table, which is in the same region server we will deadlock. These
kind of cases are very similar to the secondary index problems that Phoenix and
other HBase applications are facing. Seems like we should seek for more design
/ discussion around how to handle table / region interdependencies.

> If we shutdown an entire HBase cluster and attempt to start it back up, we
> have to run the WAL pre-log roll that occurs before opening up a region. Yet
> this pre-log roll must record the new WAL inside of ReplicationQueues. This
> method call ends up blocking on
> TableBasedReplicationQueues.getOrBlockOnReplicationTable(), because the
> Replication Table is not up yet. And we cannot assign the Replication Table
> because we cannot open any regions. This ends up deadlocking the entire
> cluster whenever we lose Replication Table availability.
> There are a few options that we can do, but none of them seem very good:
> 1. Depend on Zookeeper-based Replication until the Replication Table becomes
> available
> 2. Have a separate WAL for System Tables that does not perform any
> replication (see discussion at HBASE-14623)
> Or just have a seperate WAL for non-replicated vs replicated
> regions
> 3. Record the WAL log in the ReplicationQueue asynchronously (don't block
> opening a region on this event), which could lead to inconsistent Replication
> state
