-------------------------------------
Summary: Replication gets stuck for empty WALs
Key: HBASE-18137
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-18137
Project: HBase
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Replication
Affects Versions: 1.3.1
Reporter: Ashu Pachauri
Replication assumes that only the last WAL of a recovered queue can be empty.
But, intermittent DFS issues may cause empty WALs being created (without the
PWAL magic), and a roll of WAL to happen without a regionserver crash. This
will cause recovered queues to have empty WALs in the middle. This cause
replication to get stuck:

The WAL in question was completely empty but there were other WALs in the
recovered queue which were newer and non-empty.
