RELEASENOTES

HBASE hbase-operator-tools-1.0.0 Release Notes

These release notes cover new developer and user-facing incompatibilities, important issues, features, and major improvements.


  • HBASE-23002 | Major | [HBCK2/hbase-operator-tools] Create an assembly that builds an hbase-operator-tools tgz

First cut at an assembly for hbase-operator-tools project.


Added SLF4J binding for LOG4J 2.


  • HBASE-22567 | Major | [HBCK2] Add new methods for dealing with missing regions in META while Master is online

Adds new, lightweight option for recovering missing regions in meta, “addFsRegionsMissingInMeta” command, as well “readonly” “reportMissingRegionsInMeta” to show the list of regions to be readded in meta. This is a less intrusive alternative to OfflineMetaRepair, can be used when master and meta are still capable of coming online.

Detailed description as provided by the command usage help:

{noformat} addFsRegionsMissingInMeta <NAMESPACE|NAMESPACE:TABLENAME>... Options: -d,--force_disable aborts fix for table if disable fails. To be used in scenarios where some regions may be missing in META, but there's still a valid ‘regioninfo’ metadata file on HDFS. This is a lighter version of ‘OfflineMetaRepair tool commonly used for similar issues on 1.x release line. This command needs META to be online. For each table name passed as parameter, it performs a diff between regions available in META, against existing regions dirs on HDFS. Then, for region dirs with no matches in META, it reads regioninfo metadata file and re-creates given region in META. Regions are re-created in ‘CLOSED’ state at META table only, but not in Masters’ cache, and are not assigned either. To get these regions online, run HBCK2 ‘assigns’command printed at the end of this command results for convenience.

NOTE: If using hbase releases older than 2.3.0, a rolling restart of HMasters is needed prior to executing the provided ‘assigns’ command.

An example adding missing regions for tables ‘tbl_1’ on default namespace, ‘tbl_2’ on namespace ‘n1’ and for all tables from namespace ‘n2’: $ HBCK2 addFsRegionsMissingInMeta default:tbl_1 n1:tbl_2 n2 Returns HBCK2 ‘assigns’ command with all re-inserted regions. SEE ALSO: reportMissingRegionsInMeta ... reportMissingRegionsInMeta <NAMESPACE|NAMESPACE:TABLENAME>... To be used in scenarios where some regions may be missing in META, but there's still a valid ‘regioninfo metadata file on HDFS. This is a checking only method, designed for reporting purposes and doesn’t perform any fixes, providing a view of which regions (if any) would get re-added to meta, grouped by respective table/namespace. To effectively re-add regions in meta, addFsRegionsMissingInMeta should be executed. This command needs META to be online. For each namespace/table passed as parameter, it performs a diff between regions available in META, against existing regions dirs on HDFS. Region dirs with no matches are printed grouped under its related table name. Tables with no missing regions will show a ‘no missing regions’ message. If no namespace or table is specified, it will verify all existing regions. It accepts a combination of multiple namespace and tables. Table names should include the namespace portion, even for tables in the default namespace, otherwise it will assume as a namespace value. An example triggering missing regions report for tables ‘table_1’ and ‘table_2’, under default namespace: $ HBCK2 reportMissingRegionsInMeta default:table_1 default:table_2 An example triggering missing regions report for table ‘table_1’ under default namespace, and for all tables from namespace ‘ns1’: $ HBCK2 reportMissingRegionsInMeta default:table_1 ns1 Returns list of missing regions for each table passed as parameter, or for each table on namespaces specified as parameter. ... {noformat}


  • HBASE-22717 | Major | [HBCK2] Expose replication fixes from hbck1

Adds ‘replication’ command to HBCK2. Will clear old deleted peer queues and if a table name is passed, can clear replication barrier flags.

Exposes the old hbck1 code that did this.


  • HBASE-21393 | Major | Add an API ScheduleSCP() to HBCK2

Adds scheduleRecoveries verb to HBCK2 tool for scheduling ServerCrashProcedures.

Also adds a version checker and a refactor so we check version before trying a command (unless --skip is passed on command-line).


  • HBASE-22688 | Major | [HBCK2] Add filesystem fixup to hbck2

Adds a ‘filesystem’ command to HBCK2. Checks for bad references, links, and corrupt hfiles with the option of sidelining if pass --fix option.


  • HBASE-22680 | Major | [HBCK2] OfflineMetaRepair for hbase2/hbck2

Adds a version of the old OfflineMetaRepair tool from hbck1 updated to work against hbase2. Here is how you'd run it:

$ HBASE_CLASSPATH_PREFIX=~/checkouts/hbase-operator-tools/hbase-hbck2/target/hbase-hbck2-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar ./bin/hbase org.apache.hbase.hbck1.OfflineMetaRepair -details

See section “hbase:meta region/table restore/rebuild” in hbase-hbck README in operator tools for more detail on how to run it (https://github.com/apache/hbase-operator-tools/tree/master/hbase-hbck2)


Adds a new feature to HBCK2: setRegionState.

Given the encoded name of a Region, this command allows you to change the state of that Region recorded in Meta.


  • HBASE-21322 | Critical | Add a scheduleServerCrashProcedure() API to HbckService

Adds scheduleServerCrashProcedure to the HbckService.


  • HBASE-21378 | Major | [hbck2] add --skip version check to hbck2 tool (checkHBCKSupport blocks assigning hbase:meta or hbase:namespace when master is not initialized)

Adds a general -s,--skip option to hbck2 so you can run the command it first checking it is version compatible.

Should not be needed going forward but in the spirt of our not knowing all the conditions under which we'll be trying to run hbck2, adding it.


  • HBASE-21335 | Critical | Change the default wait time of HBCK2 tool

Changed waitTime parameter to lockWait on bypass. Changed default waitTime from 0 -- i.e. wait for ever -- to 1ms so if lock is held, we'll go past it and if override enforce bypass.


  • HBASE-21317 | Major | [hbck2] Add version, version handling, and misc override to assigns/unassigns

Adds --override to assigns and unassigns. Adds --recursive to bypass Adds dump of version info Adds fail if remote cluster doesn't support hbck2


  • HBASE-21210 | Major | Add bypassProcedure() API to HBCK2

Added a bypass to hbck2:

{code} $ HBASE_CLASSPATH_PREFIX=../hbase-operator-tools/hbase-hbck2/target/hbase-hbck2-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar ./bin/hbase org.apache.hbase.HBCK2 usage: HBCK2 [OPTIONS] COMMAND <ARGS>

Options: -d,--debug run with debug output -h,--help output this help message -p,--hbase.zookeeper.property.clientPort peerport of target hbase ensemble -q,--hbase.zookeeper.quorum <arg> ensemble of target hbase -z,--zookeeper.znode.parent parent znode of target hbase

Commands: setTableState <TABLENAME> <STATE> Possible table states: ENABLED, DISABLED, DISABLING, ENABLING To read current table state, in the hbase shell run: hbase> get ‘hbase:meta’, ‘<TABLENAME>’, ‘table:state’ A value of \x08\x00 == ENABLED, \x08\x01 == DISABLED, etc. An example making table name ‘user’ ENABLED: $ HBCK2 setTableState users ENABLED Returns whatever the previous table state was.

assigns <ENCODED_REGIONNAME>... A ‘raw’ assign that can be used even during Master initialization. Skirts Coprocessors. Pass one or more encoded RegionNames: e.g. 1588230740 is hard-coded encoding for hbase:meta region and de00010733901a05f5a2a3a382e27dd4 is an example of what a random user-space encoded Region name looks like. For example: $ HBCK2 assign 1588230740 de00010733901a05f5a2a3a382e27dd4 Returns the pid of the created AssignProcedure or -1 if none.

bypass [OPTIONS] <PID>... Pass one (or more) procedure ‘pid’s to skip to the procedure finish. Parent of this procedures will also skip to its finish. Entities will be left in an inconsistent state and will require manual fixup. Pass --force to break any outstanding locks. Pass --waitTime=<seconds> to wait on entity lock before giving up. Default: force=false and waitTime=0. Returns true if succeeded.

unassigns <ENCODED_REGIONNAME>... A ‘raw’ unassign that can be used even during Master initialization. Skirts Coprocessors. Pass one or more encoded RegionNames: Skirts Coprocessors. Pass one or more encoded RegionNames: de00010733901a05f5a2a3a382e27dd4 is an example of what a random user-space encoded Region name looks like. For example: $ HBCK2 unassign 1588230740 de00010733901a05f5a2a3a382e27dd4 Returns the pid of the created UnassignProcedure or -1 if none. {code}
