Ted Yu commented on HBASE-17290:
--------------------------------
HBASE-15446 is still open.
As the description of HBASE-15446 says, the solution depends on client to
retry. What if client doesn't retry ?
See the latest patch on HBASE-14417 for solution - we record the hfile before
the movement into region directory.
> Potential loss of data for replication of bulk loaded hfiles

> Key: HBASE-17290
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-17290
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Ted Yu
>
> Currently the support for replication of bulk loaded hfiles relies on bulk
> load marker written in the WAL.
> The move of bulk loaded hfile(s) (into region directory) may succeed but the
> write of bulk load marker may fail.
> This means that although bulk loaded hfile is being served in source cluster,
> the replication wouldn't happen.
> Normally operator is supposed to retry the bulk load. But relying on human
> retry is not robust solution.
