-------------------------------
bq. Yu Li Could you please help testing the performance of the change as you
already have a good workload to expose the performance issue for the old
Sure, will follow up offline with Allan.
Actually we have observed more than one issue after merging mvcc and sequence
id, such as HBASE-14460 and HBASE-16698. Let's take the chance to look at the
whole thing again and do clean up once for all (hopefully). :-)
> Region Seqid will be out of order in WAL if using mvccPreAssign

> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: wal
> Affects Versions: 2.0.0, 1.4.0

> Assignee: Allan Yang
> Priority: Critical

> mvccPreAssign was brought by HBASE-16698, which truly improved the
> performance of writing, especially in ASYNC_WAL scenario. But mvccPreAssign
> was only used in {{doMiniBatchMutate}}, not in Increment/Append path. If
> Increment/Append and batch put are using against the same region in parallel,
> then seqid of the same region may not monotonically increasing in the WAL.
> Since one write path acquires mvcc/seqid before append, and the other
> acquires in the append/sync consume thread.
> The out of order situation can easily reproduced by a simple UT, which was
> attached in the attachment. I modified the code to assert on the disorder:
> {code}
> if(this.highestSequenceIds.containsKey(encodedRegionName)) {
> assert highestSequenceIds.get(encodedRegionName) < sequenceid;
> }
> {code}
> I'd like to say, If we allow disorder in WALs, then this is not a issue.
> But as far as I know, if {{highestSequenceIds}} is not properly set, some
> WALs may not archive to oldWALs correctly.
> which I haven't figure out yet is that, will disorder in WAL cause data loss
> when recovering from disaster? If so, then it is a big problem need to be
> fixed.
> I have fix this problem in our costom1.1.x branch, my solution is using
> mvccPreAssign everywhere, making it un-configurable. Since mvccPreAssign it
> is indeed a better way than assign seqid in the ringbuffer thread while
> keeping handlers waiting for it.
> If anyone think it is doable, then I will port it to branch-1 and master
> branch and upload it.
