HBASE-5898 & 0.92.2

Shrijeet Paliwal 2012-12-11, 20:05

Hello All,

If our read of https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-5898 is correct
it talks about three issues:

#1 Contention on a lock causing bad performance
#2 HDFS slowness causing IPC handlers blocked for large times.
#3 A mysterious bug which causes what looks like a deadlock

In out environment[1] we are seeing #3 (ish) signals. Attached is the stack
trace. One of our region server got blocked (almost all of IPC handlers)
for 11 hours, so it can not be #1 OR #2.

We have not back ported the patch yet so cant say if it fixes the issue or
not. Also it is difficult to reproduce. There is a rumor that a program to
reproduce this issue exist, does it?

Eager to hear thoughts.

[1] HBase version 0.92.2 , Hadoop version CDH3u0

Have you seen Lars' comment today on the JIRA ?

I don't know whether CDH3u0 is close to hdfs 1.0.3 or 1.0.4

Cheers

Ted, CDH3u0 does not have HDFS-2246 (Shortcut a local client reads to a
Datanodes files directly) I think it is included in CDH3u3.

We might be facing HBASE-3622 . Recently removed the UseMemBar from our GC
opts. I will bring it back & see if the issue gets resolved.

This really looks like the issue we got that prompted applying HBASE-5898.

Never heard about the rumor.

If you can isolate the region that exhibits the issue, put it on a
region server by itself and patch that region server to see if it
fixes the issue.

Also, can you confirm that you are running java 1.6 u16?

Thx,

J-D

I can isolate the region fine (when we attempted to restart the
regionserver, stuck threads got interrupted & logged the region name they
were trying to load data for). But that region has gone through a minor
compaction and the situation (files et al) in file system has changed. I am
asssuming state of filesystem is what you were hoping will help us
reproduce. Or you are coming from some where else?

Yes we are running Java 1.6.0_16.
