> Key: ACCUMULO-2172
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-2172
> Project: Accumulo
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 1.5.0
> Reporter: Keith Turner
> Assignee: Eric Newton
> Fix For: 1.5.1, 1.6.0
>
>
> [~vines] noticed that minc finish events are not synced to the walog. I was
> looking into this issue to see if it was a problem and I noticed a possible
> issue w/ this. If the following sequence of events occurs, its possible
> that duplicate recovery may occur.
> # Tablet T1 writes File F1 to metadata table after minor compaction
> # T1 write minc finish event to walog (no sync is done and info not in walog)
> # T1 adds F1 to set of files in tablets memory
> # T1 major compacts F1 into F2
> # Tablet server serving T1 fails (and nothing synced walog)
> # T1 recovers data in F1 because there is no finish event or file in
> metadata table
> Step 2 must sync before step 3, because step 3 makes the file eligible for
> major compaction. Its seems like the sync could be done using group commit
> for efficiency.
