Zach York created HBASE-23202:
---------------------------------
Summary: ExportSnapshot (import) will fail if copying files to
root directory takes longer than cleaner TTL
Key: HBASE-23202
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-23202
Project: HBase
Issue Type: Bug
Components: snapshots
Affects Versions: 1.5.0, 1.4.11
Reporter: Zach York
HBASE-17330 removed the checking of the snapshot .tmp directory when
determining which files are candidates for deletes. It appears that in the
latest branches, this isn't an issue for taking a snapshot as it checks whether
a snapshot is in progress via the SnapshotManager.
However, when using the ExportSnapshot tool to import a snapshot into a
cluster, it will first copy the snapshot manifest into
/.snapshot/.tmp/<snapshot> [1], copies the files, and then renames the snapshot
manifest to the final snapshot directory. If the copyFiles job takes longer
than the cleaner TTL, the ExportSnapshot job will fail because HFiles will get
deleted before the snapshot is committed to the final directory.
The ExportSnapshot tool already has a functionality to skipTmp and write the
manifest directly to the final location. However, this has unintended
consequences such as the snapshot appearing to the user before it is usable. So
it looks like we will have to bring back the tmp directory check to avoid this
situation.
