Abhishek Singh Chouhan created HBASE-22617: ----------------------------------------------
Summary: Recovered WAL directories not getting cleaned up Key: HBASE-22617 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-22617 Project: HBase Issue Type: Task Affects Versions: 1.5.0 Reporter: Abhishek Singh Chouhan Assignee: Abhishek Singh Chouhan While colocating the recovered edits directory with hbase.wal.dir, BASE_NAMESPACE_DIR got missed. This results in recovered edits being put in a separate directory rather than the default region directory even if the hbase.wal.dir is not overridden. Eg. if data is stored in /hbase/data/namespace/table1, recovered edits are put in /hbase/namespace/table1. This also messes up the regular cleaner chores which never operate on this new directory and these directories will never be deleted, even for split parents or dropped tables. We should change the default back to have the base namespace directory in path. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
