Sean Busbey updated ACCUMULO-2694:
----------------------------------

          Component/s:     (was: tserver)
          Description: 
Both DefaultLoadBalancer and ChaoticLoadBalancer won't balance if there are 
outstanding migrations.

In this instance, we have offline tables from previous CI runs. one of these 
tables had outstanding migrations

Later messages show these tablets being unloaded successfully. However, since 
the table is offline they never get loaded on the new tablet server. This means 
they never leave the queue, so balancing stops.

As an added complication, this last set of migrations was added after the table 
was already offline. I think this is because there had been unhosted tablets 
which caused a bunch of contention around when balancing would finally happen.

A few needed changes:

# If the balancer isn't going to balance it needs a log message saying so. 
Ideally, this message should also include information about the outstanding 
migrations that are blocking it.
# the Migration cleanup thread should look for migrations involving offline 
tables and clear them (I'd prefer this to trying to have the balancer figure 
out if a table is offline or online)
# When we offline a table, we should probably clear migrations related to that 
table. This isn't strictly necessary if the cleanup thread will get them 
eventually, but it would speed things up.

Workarounds:

# migration state is only stored in Master memory, failing over to a different 
master will force recalculation which will not include offline tables.
# if for some reason you can't handle a failure of the current master, bringing 
the involved table back online (which might mean all offline tables) will allow 
migrations to resume. the table must remain online until there are no longer 
migrations involving it.
# I *think* that if you clone the offline table and then delete the original, 
that will clear the outstanding migrations related to it. I did not test this, 
because the above two options are much better.

The latter option will cause considerably more churn, especially if the offline 
table isn't actually providing utility.

Started CI with a 10-tablet pre-split table. For some reason this table is not 
balancing to the other tablet servers.

Will look at logs in the morning.

          Environment: 1.6.0-RC2 Started CI with a 10-tablet pre-split table.   
(was: 1.6.0-RC2)
    Affects Version/s: 1.4.0
                       1.5.0
              Summary: Offline tables block balancing for online tables  (was: 
Table not balancing during Continuous Ingest)
