Duo Zhang commented on HBASE-18042:
-----------------------------------
After digging I think HBASE-17489 did break the compatibility between 1.2 and
1.3. Before branch-1.2, we only set moreResultsInRegion to false when we return
empty result to client, even if moreRows returned by the RegionScanner is
false. That's why we will issue one more request to a region which has already
been exhausted.
And in 1.3, if we set moreResultsInRegion to false when we have also reached
the scan caching, the {{doneWithRegion}} will return false because the
countdown is 0 thus a new request to the same region will be issued.
It is easy to fix at client side. The problem of the old doneWithRegion method
is that, we set serverHasMoreResults to false even if we do not have
moreResultsInRegion flag in proto. Will prepare a patch soon.
But I'm not sure if we also need to add some dirty code at server side to keep
compatible with the old client without the new patch. I want to define this
problem as a bug, but it is also a pain for users that they must upgrade to the
newest version of 1.2 or 1.1 before upgrading to 1.3 only because of a 'bug'
that does not break anything on 1.2 or 1.1...
Thanks.

> Key: HBASE-18042
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-18042
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 1.3.1
> Reporter: Karan Mehta
> Assignee: Karan Mehta
>
> OpenTSDB uses AsyncHBase as its client, rather than using the traditional
> HBase Client. From version 1.2 to 1.3, the {{ClientProtos}} have been
> changed. Newer fields are added to {{ScanResponse}} proto.
> For a typical Scan request in 1.2, would require caller to make an
> OpenScanner Request, GetNextRows Request and a CloseScanner Request, based on
> {{more_rows}} boolean field in the {{ScanResponse}} proto.
> However, from 1.3, new parameter {{more_results_in_region}} was added, which
> limits the results per region. Therefore the client has to now manage sending
> all the requests for each region. Further more, if the results are exhausted
> from a particular region, the {{ScanResponse}} will set
> {{more_results_in_region}} to false, but {{more_results}} can still be true.
> Whenever the former is set to false, the {{RegionScanner}} will also be
> closed.
> OpenTSDB makes an OpenScanner Request and receives all its results in the
> first {{ScanResponse}} itself, thus creating a condition as described in
> above paragraph. Since {{more_rows}} is true, it will proceed to send next
> request at which point the {{RSRpcServices}} will throw
> {{UnknownScannerException}}. The protobuf client compatibility is maintained
> but expected behavior is modified.
