Description

As part of HBASE-9249 & HBASE-9489, added new hooks in split and merge which take meta entries from coprocessor hooks if any. These meta entries helps to ensure atomicity of split(merge) of regions by server and split(merge) of the regions handled in coprocessors(This is required in secondary indexing case).

After HBASE-11611 the meta entries are not getting added to meta both in split and merge.

    @MetaMutationAnnotation
    List<Mutation> metaEntries = new ArrayList<Mutation>();
    if (rsCoprocessorHost != null) {
      if (rsCoprocessorHost.preMergeCommit(this.region_a, this.region_b, metaEntries)) {
        throw new IOException("Coprocessor bypassing regions " + this.region_a + " "
            + this.region_b + " merge.");
      }
      try {
        for (Mutation p : metaEntries) {
          HRegionInfo.parseRegionName(p.getRow());
        }
      } catch (IOException e) {
        LOG.error("Row key of mutation from coprocessor is not parsable as region name."
            + "Mutations from coprocessor should only be for hbase:meta table.", e);
        throw e;
      }
    }

    // This is the point of no return. Similar with SplitTransaction.
    // IF we reach the PONR then subsequent failures need to crash out this
    // regionserver
    this.journal.add(JournalEntry.PONR);

    // Add merged region and delete region_a and region_b
    // as an atomic update. See HBASE-7721. This update to hbase:meta makes the region
    // will determine whether the region is merged or not in case of failures.
    // If it is successful, master will roll-forward, if not, master will
    // rollback
    if (services != null && !services.reportRegionStateTransition(TransitionCode.MERGE_PONR,
        mergedRegionInfo, region_a.getRegionInfo(), region_b.getRegionInfo())) {
      // Passed PONR, let SSH clean it up
      throw new IOException("Failed to notify master that merge passed PONR: "
        + region_a.getRegionInfo().getRegionNameAsString() + " and "
        + region_b.getRegionInfo().getRegionNameAsString());
    }

I think while reporting region state transition to master we need to pass meta entries also so that we can add them to meta along with split or merge updates.
