Jerry He commented on HBASE-18099:
----------------------------------
It is valid. Either there is nothing to flush (read only table). or it is a
replica region, which is probably not the the snapshot regions anyway.
> FlushSnapshotSubprocedure should check the return value from Region#flush()

> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Ted Yu

>
> In the following thread:
> http://search-hadoop.com/m/HBase/YGbbMXkeHlI9zo
> Jacob described the scenario where data from certain region were missing in
> the snapshot.
> Here was related region server log:
> https://pastebin.com/1ECXjhRp
> He pointed out that concurrent flush from MemStoreFlusher.1 thread was not
> initiated from the thread pool for snapshot.
> In RegionSnapshotTask#call() method there is this:
> {code}
> region.flush(true);
> {code}
> The return value is not checked.
> In HRegion#flushcache(), Result.CANNOT_FLUSH may be returned due to:
> {code}
> String msg = "Not flushing since "
> + (writestate.flushing ? "already flushing"
> : "writes not enabled");
> {code}
> This implies that FlushSnapshotSubprocedure may incorrectly skip waiting for
> the concurrent flush to complete.
