--------------------------------------
Summary: Find a way to handle the corrupt recovered hfiles
Key: HBASE-23633
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-23633
Project: HBase
Issue Type: Umbrella
Reporter: Guanghao Zhang
Copy the comment from PR review.
If the file is a corrupt HFile, an exception will be thrown here, which will
cause the region to fail to open.
Maybe we can add a new parameter to control whether to skip the exception,
similar to recover edits which has a parameter
"hbase.hregion.edits.replay.skip.errors";
Regions that can't be opened because of detached References or corrupt hfiles
are a fact-of-life. We need work on this issue. This will be a new variant on
the problem -- i.e. bad recovered hfiles.
On adding a config to ignore bad files and just open, thats a bit dangerous as
per @infraio .... as it could mean silent data loss.
