Michael Stack commented on HBASE-23181:
---------------------------------------
bq. OK, then this could be the problem, where we release the update lock with
pending wal entries in WAL's ringbuffer.
Let me look more at your suggestion above [~zhangduo]. Thanks.

> 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:
> {code}

> same reason as above.
