Duo Zhang commented on HBASE-23181:
-----------------------------------
OK, then this could be the problem, where we release the update lock with
pending wal entries in WAL's ringbuffer.
The scenario is more or less the same with ASYNC_WAL, so I think the patch in
HBASE-23157 could solve the problem, where we just remove all the records in
SequenceIdAccounting when we hit the close marker.
And another problem is how to count the flushed sequence id correctly, now it
may go backwards and cause a warning on master, although there is no data loss
issue.

> Key: HBASE-23181
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-23181
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 2.2.1
> Reporter: Michael Stack
> Priority: Major
>
> On a heavily loaded cluster, WAL count keeps rising and we can get into a
> state where we are not rolling the logs off fast enough. In particular, there
> is this interesting state at the extreme where we pick a region to flush
> because 'Too many WALs' but the region is actually not online. As the WAL
> count rises, we keep picking a region-to-flush that is no longer on the
> server. This condition blocks our being able to clear WALs; eventually WALs
> climb into the hundreds and the RS goes zombie with a full Call queue that
> starts throwing CallQueueTooLargeExceptions (bad if this servers is the one
> carrying hbase:meta): i.e. clients fail to access the RegionServer.
> One symptom is a fast spike in WAL count for the RS. A restart of the RS will
> break the bind.
> Here is how it looks in the log:
