---------------------------------------
Summary: Get with closest_row_before on "hbase:meta" can return
empty Cell during region merge/split
Key: HBASE-18066
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-18066
Project: HBase
Issue Type: Bug
Components: hbase, regionserver
Affects Versions: 1.3.1
Environment: Linux (16.04.2), MacOS 10.11.6.
Standalone and distributed HBase setup.
Reporter: Andrey Elenskiy
During region split/merge there's a brief period of time where doing a "Get"
with "closest_row_before=true" on "hbase:meta" may return empty
"GetResponse.result.cell" field even though parent, splitA and splitB regions
are all in "hbase:meta". Both gohbase (https://github.com/tsuna/gohbase) and
AsyncHBase (https://github.com/OpenTSDB/asynchbase) interprets this as
"TableDoesNotExist" which is returned to the client.
Here's a gist that reproduces this problem:
https://gist.github.com/Timoha/c7a236b768be9220e85e53e1ca53bf96. Note that you
have to use older HTable client (I used 1.2.4) as current versions ignore
`Get.setClosestRowBefore(bool)` option.
