Description
As discussed in HBASE-20617, adding the ability to dynamically compile jsp enable us to do some hot fix.
For example, several days ago, in our testing HBase-2.0 cluster, procedureWals were corrupted due to some unknown reasons. After restarting the cluster, since some procedures(AssignProcedure for example) were corrupted and couldn't be replayed. Some regions were stuck in RIT forever. We couldn't use HBCK since it haven't support AssignmentV2 yet. As a matter of fact, the namespace region was not online, so the master was not inited, we even couldn't use shell command like assign/move. But, we wrote a jsp and fix this issue easily. The jsp file is like this:
<% String action = request.getParameter("action"); HMaster master = (HMaster)getServletContext().getAttribute(HMaster.MASTER); List<RegionInfo> offlineRegionsToAssign = new ArrayList<>(); List<RegionStates.RegionStateNode> regionRITs = master.getAssignmentManager() .getRegionStates().getRegionsInTransition(); for (RegionStates.RegionStateNode regionStateNode : regionRITs) { // if regionStateNode don't have a procedure attached, but meta state shows // this region is in RIT, that means the previous procedure may be corrupted // we need to create a new assignProcedure to assign them if (!regionStateNode.isInTransition()) { offlineRegionsToAssign.add(regionStateNode.getRegionInfo()); out.println("RIT region:" + regionStateNode); } } // Assign offline regions. Uses round-robin. if ("fix".equals(action) && offlineRegionsToAssign.size() > 0) { master.getMasterProcedureExecutor().submitProcedures(master.getAssignmentManager(). createRoundRobinAssignProcedures(offlineRegionsToAssign)); } else { out.println("use ?action=fix to fix RIT regions"); } %>
Above it is only one example we can do if we have the ability to compile jsp dynamically. We think it is very useful.
