Huaxiang Sun commented on HBASE-24255:
--------------------------------------
My comments regarding with merge is wrong (merge is done manually), normalizer
can merge regions as well.
At this moment, no effort is being made regarding with this jira. [~timoha], we
are going to resolve it with "cannot reproduce". If this pops again, we can
reopen this Jira with more concrete steps/logs. Please speak out if you have
different opinion, thanks.
> GCRegionProcedure doesn't assign region from RegionServer leading to orphans

> Key: HBASE-24255
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-24255
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: proc-v2, Region Assignment, regionserver
> Affects Versions: 2.2.4
> Environment: hbase 2.2.4
> hadoop 3.1.3
> Reporter: Andrey Elenskiy
> Priority: Major
>
> We've found ourselves in a situation where parents of merged or split regions
> needed to be opened again on a regionserver due to having to recover from
> cluster meltdown (HBCK2's fixMeta kicks off GCMultipleMergedRegionsProcedure
> which requiters all regions to be merged to be open). Then, when a
> GCProcedure is kicked of to clean a parent region up by
> GCMultipleMergedRegionsProcedure, it ends up deleting it from hbase:meta, but
> doesn't unassign it from RegionServer leading for it to show up in "Orphan
> Regions on RegionServer" in hbck tab of HBase Master. Also, the hbase client
> doesn't detect that the region is closed either because it's still
> technically open on a regionserver (it doesn't reread hbase:meta all the
> time). The only way to recover from this is to restart regionserver which
> isn't idea as it can lead to other issues in clusters with region
> inconsistencies.
