ramkrishna.s.vasudevan commented on HBASE-19468:
------------------------------------------------
bq.For preventing newly flushed files to be compacted, it seems Thiruvel's fix
is more intuitive.
Thanks for the review Ted. But not sure I get your meaning. Newly flushed files
also will be prevented from compaction. When we do getScanner on those store
files internally the ref count is incremented. So since we only increment it
once we can just call close so that it gets closed and during close the ref
count decrement happens. Let me know if am missing something. Pls correct me if
am wrong.

> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Components: regionserver, Scanners
> Affects Versions: 1.3.1
> Reporter: Thiruvel Thirumoolan
> Priority: Critical
> Fix For: 2.0.0, 1.4.1, 1.5.0, 1.3.3

> We see FNFE exceptions on our 1.3 clusters when scans and flushes happen at
> the same time. This causes regionserver to throw a UnknownScannerException
> and client retries.
> This happens during the following sequence:
> 1. Scanner open, client fetched some rows from regionserver and working on it
> 2. Flush happens and storeScanner is updated with flushed files
> (StoreScanner.updateReaders())
> 3. Compaction happens on the region while scanner is still open
> 4. compaction discharger runs and cleans up the newly flushed file as we
> don't have new scanners on it yet.
> 5. Client issues scan.next and during StoreScanner.resetScannerStack(), we
> get a FNFE. RegionServer throws a UnknownScannerThe client retries in 1.3.
> With branch-1.4, the scan fails with a DoNotRetryIOException.
> [~ram_krish], My proposal is to increment the reader count during
> updateReaders() and decrement it during resetScannerStack(), so discharger
> doesn't clean it up. Scan lease expiries also have to be taken care of. Am I
> missing anything? Is there a better approach?
