Ted Yu commented on HBASE-17290:
--------------------------------
The LOG in that catch block is at error level.
Consider changing it to DEBUG since the absence of hfile implies error in the
commit step (which should be remedied by operator retry).
> Potential loss of data for replication of bulk loaded hfiles

> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Bug

>
> 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.
