             Summary: Sometimes some compacted storefiles are still opened 
after region failover
                 Key: HBASE-20724
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-20724
             Project: HBase
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 2.0.0, 1.4.0, 1.3.0, 3.0.0, 1.5.0
            Reporter: Francis Liu


It is important that compacted storefiles of a given compaction execution are 
wholly opened or archived to insure data consistency. ie a storefile containing 
delete tombstones can be archived while older storefiles containing cells that 
were supposed to be deleted are left unarchived thereby undeleting those cells.

When a server fails compaction markers (in the wal edit) are used to determine 
which storefiles are compacted and should be excluded during region open 
(during failover). But the WALs containing compaction markers can be 
prematurely archived even though there are still compacted storefiles for that 
particular compaction event that hasn't been archived yet. Thus losing 
compaction information that needs to be replayed. This is because hlog 
archiving logic only keeps track of flushed storefiles and not archived ones.
