One region for "prod.timelineservice.entity" hbase table which is referred by YARN Timeline service V2.0 is corrupted

Hi,

In our environment  one region for the habse table "prod.timelineservice.entity" is stuck in transition. I'm seeing following metadata error while health scan:

Number of regions in transition: 1

2021-03-01 19:18:59,923 INFO  [main] util.HBaseFsck: Loading regionsinfo from the hbase:meta table

ERROR: Empty REGIONINFO_QUALIFIER found in hbase:meta

would it be okay to drop this table to recover 

 

With earlier versions of hbase I could have fixed this easily using hbck utility, but looks like with Hbase 2.x any "repair" options are not supported anymore. As I last resort I might need to copy this table to another Hbase table and then drop it to drop the problematic region. As this table is being referred by YARN timeline service, just wanted to check if this approach would be okay?

 

Appreciate any response.

Update:

Because of this RIT issue balancer is unable to run and that’s what my ultimate goal is.

I have tried forced “assign” and “unassign” operation for tis region but it always times out.

 

I can see an “exclusive” lock on this region for an assignment process which hasn’t been completed successfully for a long time.

Also, with newer version of base the hbck utility has a lot of restrictions and majority of “-fix” operations are not supported so I can’t use that to fix this assignment issue.

 

I tried to take a backup of the table so I could drop it and get rid of this region but the snapshot also time out, I believe due to pre-existing lock on the region.

 

I would like to know what are my options now. Is there ay way we can explicitly remove the existing lock or kill the assignment procedure and then try to assign this region manually?

Hello @Priyanka26 

 

Thanks for using Cloudera Community. Based on the synopsis, You have 1 Region of "prod.timelineservice.entity" Table in Transition (RIT). You have tried to perform an "assign" Command, "snapshot" Command yet they are timing out. You have raised queries on HBCK2 usage as a contrast to HBCK1. 

 

Coming to the RIT, Please confirm the Region State (CLOSING, FAILED_CLOSE, OPENING, FAILED_OPEN). Accordingly, Review the reasoning for the Region State in the HMaster & RegionServer Logs using the RegionID. As YARN Timeline Service uses 1 RegionServer JVM, We have to check the Logs on 1 Host only. Once we confirm the reasoning for the RIT, We can discuss possible mitigation steps. 

 

For HBCK, HBCK2 Tool offers the functionalities of HBCK1 minus any "-fix" Command, partly because the HBCK2 Tool offers the functionalities of "-fix" individually as documented in Link [1]. With newer HBase release, most of the Command listed under the Link are available. It's likely the HBase Version being used by your Team is not having all required HBCK2 Command support. The Link list the HBase Version compatible with the Command as well.

@smdas Thank you for your response. One more question regarding running HBCK2 utility in a kerberized environment. I am getting this "Failed to specify server's Kerberos principal name", even though I'm authenticated as hbase principal.

Could you please let me know if the principal needs to be passed as an external parameter? I even tried passing hbase configurations with --config option which wasn't an acceptable option.

Really appreciate any insight to this.
