Description

In out product cluster, we encounter a problem that two daughter regions can not been opened for FileNotFoundException.

The reason is that a compaction in an out-of-date Store deletes the hfiles, which are referenced by the daughter regions after split. This will cause the daughter regions can not be opened forever.

The timeline is that

Assumption: there are two hfiles: a, b in Store A in Region R
t0: A compaction request of Store A(a+b) in Region R is sent.

t1: First Split for Region R. But this split is timeout and rollbacked. In the rollback, region reinitializes all store objects , see SplitTransaction #824. Now the store is Region R is A'(a+b).

t2: Run the compaction sent in t0 . (hfile: a + b -> c): A(a+b) -> A(c). Hfile a and b are archived.

t3: Another Split for Region R. R splits into two region R.0, R.1, which create hfile references for hfile a, b from Store A'(a + b)

t4: For hfile a, b have been deleted, the opening for region R.0 and R.1 will failed for FileNotFoundException.

I have add a test to identity this problem.

After search the jira, maybe HBASE-8502 is the same problem. goldin
