------------------------------------
Summary: Create table with EMPTY_START_ROW passed as splitKey
causes the HMaster to abort
Key: HBASE-5848
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-5848
Project: HBase
Issue Type: Bug
Components: client
Reporter: Lars Hofhansl
Assignee: Lars Hofhansl
Priority: Minor
A coworker of mine just had this scenario. It does not make sense the
EMPTY_START_ROW as splitKey (since the region with the empty start key is
implicit), but it should not cause the HMaster to abort.
The abort happens because it tries to bulk assign the same region twice and
then runs into race conditions with ZK.
The same would (presumably) happen when two identical split keys are passed,
but the client blocks that. The simplest solution here is to also block passed
null or EMPTY_START_ROW as split key by the client.
