Andrew Purtell commented on HBASE-18027:
----------------------------------------
[~lhofhansl] and I discussed this in person. Summarizing the discussion here:
Rather than introduce a new inner loop (would result in a loop in a loop in a
loop), lift the check for RPC size limit violation up into the caller. Because
the implementation of Replicator won't change a different unit test will be
necessary. There is also a TRACE level debug log line that I want to make DEBUG
and move. I will put up a new patch shortly.
> HBaseInterClusterReplicationEndpoint should respect RPC size limits when
> batching edits

> In HBaseInterClusterReplicationEndpoint#replicate we try to replicate in
> batches. We create N lists. N is the minimum of configured replicator
> threads, number of 100-waledit batches, or number of current sinks. Every
> pending entry in the replication context is then placed in order by hash of
> encoded region name into one of these N lists. Each of the N lists is then
> sent all at once in one replication RPC. We do not test if the sum of data in
> each N list will exceed RPC size limits. This code presumes each individual
> edit is reasonably small. Not checking for aggregate size while assembling
> the lists into RPCs is an oversight and can lead to replication failure when
> that assumption is violated.
> We can fix this by generating as many replication RPC calls as we need to
> drain a list, keeping each RPC under limit, instead of assuming the whole
> list will fit in one.
