> Interesting issue. The below adds a lag cleaning up files after a compaction
> in case of on-going Scanners (for read replicas/offheap).
> HBASE-14970 Backport HBASE-13082 and its sub-jira to branch-1 - recommit (Ram)
> What the lag means is that now that split is run from the HMaster in master
> branch, when it goes to get a listing of the files to split, it can pick up
> files that are for archiving but that have not been archived yet. When it
> does, it goes ahead and splits them... making references of references.
> Its a mess.
> I added asking the Region if it is splittable a while back. The Master calls
> this from SplitTableRegionProcedure during preparation. If the RegionServer
> asked for the split, it is sort of redundant work given the RS asks itself if
> any references still; if any, it'll wait before asking for a split. But if a
> user/client asks, then this isSplittable over RPC comes in handy.
> I was thinking that isSplittable could return list of files....
> Or, easier, given we know a region is Splittable by the time we go to split
> the files, then I think master-side we can just skip any references found
> presuming read-for-archive.
> Will be back with a patch. Want to test on cluster first (Side-effect is
> regions are offline because file at end of the reference to a reference is
> removed ... and so the open fails).
