ShiXing created HBASE-6370:
------------------------------
Summary: Add compression codec test at HMaster when create table
Key: HBASE-6370
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-6370
Project: HBase
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: ShiXing
Assignee: ShiXing
Priority: Minor
We deployed a cluster that none of the regionserver supports the compression
codec such like "lzo", but the cluster user/client does not know this, and he
specifies the family's compression codec by
HColumnDescripto.setCompressionType(Compresson.Algorithm.LZO);
Because the HBaseAdmin's createTable is async, so the client is waiting all the
regions of the table to be online forever. And client does not know why the
regions are not online until the HBase administrator find this problem.
In deed, all of the regions are assigning by master, but regionserver's
openHRegion always failed.
In my option, we can suppose all the cluster's enviroment are the same, means
if the master is deployed some lib, the regionserver should also be deployed.
Of course above is just a supposeļ¼ in real deployment, the hbase dba may just
deploy lib on regionserver or master.
So I think this failure can be found earlier before master create the
CreateTableHandler thread, and we can tell client quickly we didn't support
this compression codec type.
I will upload the patch later.
