We recently upgraded multiple clusters to CDH 4.2, which comes with hbase
0.94.2  Since then We've seen region servers die periodically in a way I
never saw before on CDH3.

Here are the exceptions:

First I see a slew of these: http://pastebin.com/WqSwMzuZ

Then the regionserver starts closing all its regions, after throwing this
exception: http://pastebin.com/396wX3iw

This has now happened on multiple servers across multiple clusters, all cdh
4.2.

Any thoughts?  During the time our NameNodes seem to be doing fine and I
don't see any issue on our datanodes either.

In the stack trace, I see HFileReaderV1.java
I would expect your store files to be upgraded to HFile v2 after cluster
upgrade.

Can you tell us more about how you upgraded your clusters ?

Thanks

Interesting.

We upgraded by creating entirely new clusters with the CDH4.2 software
installed onto it. Then we distributed copied the /hbase directory to the
new clusters.  We haven't run a major compaction since then, so that could
be the reason there are still v1 HFiles.  This migration took place just a
couple days ago.

In hindsight, this should have helped:

http://hbase.apache.org/book.html#upgrade0.94

I would suggest upgrading existing HFile v1 files to v2 format.

We upgraded from CDH3 which is HBase 0.90.  Looking around we do have some
v2 format HFiles, just not entirely there yet.  I'll try to get them all
converted.

This looks a lot like:

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-6479

FWIW running with V1 files is ok (unless you hit this bug obviously).

J-D

I logged HBASE-7991 for backport.

Interesting, thanks for pointing that out JD.  I'm running major
compactions now on the clusters to try to get everything over to V2.
