Hi, I can't find mention of this issue on the Jira. Is it known? I think that if a split of the HFiles is required, LoadIncrementalHFiles should create the new HFiles with the correct permissions to be bulk-loaded. Currently it just hangs because the permissions are wrong.
Here is how I reproduce my issue: On a cluster with ACL enabled, I generate HFiles for a bulk-load, then *force a table split*, and then attempt to bulk-load the HFiles. The bulk-load hangs (similar to when the hfiles' directory is not chown'ed properly): 14/09/15 15:44:41 INFO org.apache.hadoop.hbase.mapreduce.LoadIncrementalHFiles: Trying to load hfile=hdfs://bento:8020/user/daisy/kiji-mr-tutorial/hfile-output/part-r-00000.hfile/B/00000 first=\x00fs\xC0song-32\x00 last=\xFEI\x99~song-44\x0014/09/15 15:44:41 INFO org.apache.hadoop.hbase.mapreduce.LoadIncrementalHFiles: HFile at hdfs://bento:8020/user/daisy/kiji-mr-tutorial/hfile-output/part-r-00000.hfile/B/00000 no longer fits inside a single region.
