Matt Corgan commented on HBASE-7103:
------------------------------------
{quote}Not only compaction, frequent flushes that results in big store files
also may result in this?{quote}
When triggering this problem I was doing frequent flushes, and compactions were
probably backlogged for the region.
{quote}Is that correct? Should we only be doing it after compaction? Is that
why we are doing concurrent split?{quote}
It would be nice to keep the ability (if it already exists) for a region to
split without waiting for all the flushing/compacting to stop because the
flushing/compacting may go on indefinitely. The split is important in this
scenario since it spreads the load to another server.

> This came up after the following mail in dev list
> 'infinite loop of RS_ZK_REGION_SPLIT on .94.2'.
> The following is the reason for the problem
> The following steps happen
> -> Initially the parent region P1 starts splitting.
> -> The split is going on normally.
> -> Another split starts at the same time for the same region P1. (Not sure
> why this started).
> -> Rollback happens seeing an already existing node.
> -> This node gets deleted in rollback and nodeDeleted Event starts.
> -> In nodeDeleted event the RIT for the region P1 gets deleted.
> -> Because of this there is no region in RIT.
> -> Now the first split gets over. Here the problem is we try to transit the
> node to SPLITTING to SPLIT. But the node even does not exist.
> But we don take any action on this. We think it is successful.
> -> Because of this SplitRegionHandler never gets invoked.
