--------------------------------------
Summary: Error during minor compaction left tserver in bad state
Key: ACCUMULO-1708
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-1708
Project: Accumulo
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 1.4.0
Reporter: Keith Turner
Priority: Critical
Fix For: 1.6.0
A tserver experienced a OOME during minor compaction. This OOME was thrown
because java could not create a native thread. Minor compactions only catch
declared exceptions and RuntimeExceptions. This left the system in a state
where the compaction was not running but the tserver thought it was. This
cause"flush -w" to hang and prevented the tserver from reclaiming memory.
For whatever reason the OOME handler that kills the process did not kick in
(seems it only kicks in w/ OOME related to heap allocation).
