Duo Zhang commented on HBASE-17471:
-----------------------------------
{quote}
If not 'inMemstore', mvcc is just used for seqid assign, we do not need to
'hold' a mvcc entry.
{quote}
Then please rename the parameter to 'assignSeqIdOnly'? This is my point. Give
it a more reasonable name.
> Region Seqid will be out of order in WAL if using mvccPreAssign

> 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.
