Jonathan Hsieh updated HBASE-5128:
----------------------------------

    Attachment: hbase-5128-0.90-v2.patch

For the 0.90v2 version, TestHBaseFsck passes consistently.  This is very close 
to the version we've used to repair production clusters. 

0.90 version has a different HBaseFsckRepair.forceOfflineInZK() which is 
somehow responsible for that version not needed HBASE-5563.  I haven't 
investigated enough to determine why the equivalent method for the 
0.92/0.94/trunk versions fail unit tests consistently.

                
> [uber hbck] Enable hbck to automatically repair table integrity problems as 
> well as region consistency problems while online.

> The current (0.90.5, 0.92.0rc2) versions of hbck detects most of region 
> consistency and table integrity invariant violations.  However with '-fix' it 
> can only automatically repair region consistency cases having to do with 
> deployment problems.  This updated version should be able to handle all cases 
> (including a new orphan regiondir case).  When complete will likely deprecate 
> the OfflineMetaRepair tool and subsume several open META-hole related issue.
> Here's the approach (from the comment of at the top of the new version of the 
> file).

>  * HBaseFsck (hbck) is a tool for checking and repairing region consistency 
> and
>  * table integrity.  
>  * 
>  * Region consistency checks verify that META, region deployment on
>  * region servers and the state of data in HDFS (.regioninfo files) all are in
>  * accordance. 
>  * 
>  * Table integrity checks verify that that all possible row keys can resolve 
> to
>  * exactly one region of a table.  This means there are no individual 
> degenerate
>  * or backwards regions; no holes between regions; and that there no 
> overlapping
>  * regions. 
>  * 
>  * The general repair strategy works in these steps.
>  * 1) Repair Table Integrity on HDFS. (merge or fabricate regions)
>  * 2) Repair Region Consistency with META and assignments
>  * 
>  * For table integrity repairs, the tables their region directories are 
> scanned
>  * for .regioninfo files.  Each table's integrity is then verified.  If there 
>  * are any orphan regions (regions with no .regioninfo files), or holes, new 
>  * regions are fabricated.  Backwards regions are sidelined as well as empty
>  * degenerate (endkey==startkey) regions.  If there are any overlapping 
> regions,
>  * a new region is created and all data is merged into the new region.  
>  * 
>  * Table integrity repairs deal solely with HDFS and can be done offline -- 
> the
>  * hbase region servers or master do not need to be running.  These phase can 
> be
>  * use to completely reconstruct the META table in an offline fashion. 
>  * 
>  * Region consistency requires three conditions -- 1) valid .regioninfo file 
>  * present in an hdfs region dir,  2) valid row with .regioninfo data in META,
>  * and 3) a region is deployed only at the regionserver that is was assigned 
> to.
>  * 
>  * Region consistency requires hbck to contact the HBase master and region
>  * servers, so the connect() must first be called successfully.  Much of the
>  * region consistency information is transient and less risky to repair.
