-----------------------------------------------
@Chunhui
What type of dataloass you see here? is it the edit with HBASE::CACHEFLUSH that
gets missed here?
Ideally by design that edit is actually needed to show up to what point the
flush has been done and the same is added as an entry in HLog.
Even while recovering we tend to skip this entry.
{code}
// Check this edit is for me. Also, guard against writing the special
// METACOLUMN info such as HBASE::CACHEFLUSH entries
if (kv.matchingFamily(HLog.METAFAMILY) ||
!Bytes.equals(key.getEncodedRegionName(),
this.regionInfo.getEncodedNameAsBytes())) {
skippedEdits++;
continue;
}
{code}
Did you find any other type of dataloss which i am not able to foresee here?
Correct me if am wrong.
