ALM-19013 Duration of Regions in transaction State Exceeds the Threshold

Description

The system checks the number of regions in transaction state on HBase every 300 seconds. This alarm is generated when the system detects that the duration of regions in transaction state exceeds the threshold for two consecutive times. This alarm is cleared when all timeout regions are restored.

If the multi-instance function is enabled in the cluster and multiple HBase service instances are installed, you need to determine the HBase service instance where the alarm is generated based on the value of ServiceName in Location. For example, if the HBase1 service is unavailable, ServiceName=HBase1 is displayed in Location, and the operation object in the procedure needs to be changed from HBase to HBase1.

Parameters

Name

Meaning

Source

Specifies the cluster for which the alarm is generated.

ServiceName

Specifies the service for which the alarm is generated.

RoleName

Specifies the role for which the alarm is generated.

HostName

Specifies the host for which the alarm is generated.

Impact on the System

Some data in the table gets lost or becomes unavailable.

Possible Causes

  • Compaction is permanently blocked.
  • The HDFS files are abnormal.

Procedure

Locate the alarm cause.

  1. On the FusionInsight Manager, choose O&M > Alarm > Alarms, select this alarm, and view the HostName and RoleName in Location.
  2. Choose Cluster > Name of the desired cluster > Services > HBase, Click the drop-down menu in the chartarea and choose Customize > Service >

    Region in transaction count to view Region in transaction count over threshold. Check whether the monitoring item detects a value in three consecutive detection periods. (The default threshold is 60 seconds.)
    • If yes, go to 3.
    • If no, go to 7.

  3. Choose Cluster > Name of the desired cluster > Services > HBase > HMaster (Active) > Tables to check whether the regions of only one table transaction status time out.

    • If yes, go to 4.
    • If no, go to 7.

  4. Run the hbase hbck command on the client and check whether the error message "No table descriptor file under hdfs://hacluster/hbase/data/default/table" is displayed.

    • If yes, go to 5.
    • If no, go to 7.

  5. Log in to the client as user root. Run the following command:

    cd client installation directory

    source bigdata_env

    If the cluster is in security mode, run the kinit hbase command

    Log in to the HMaster WebUI, choose Procedure & Locks in the navigation tree, and check whether any process ID is in the Waiting state in Procedures. If yes, run the following command to release the procedure lock:

    hbase hbck -j client installation directory/HBase/hbase/tools/hbase-hbck2-*.jar bypass -o pid

    Check whether the state is in the Bypass state. If the procedure on the UI is always in RUNNABLE(Bypass) state, perform an active/standby switchover. Run the assigns command to bring the region online again.

    hbase hbck -j client installation directory/HBase/hbase/tools/hbase-hbck2-*.jar assigns -o regionName

  6. Repeat 4. Run the hbase hbck command on the client and check whether the error message "No table descriptor file under hdfs://hacluster/hbase/data/default/table" is displayed.

    • If yes, go to 7.
    • If no, no further action is required.

Collect fault information.

  1. On the FusionInsight Manager page of the active and standby clusters, choose O&M > Log > Download.
  2. In the Service area, select faulty HBase services in the required cluster.
  3. Click in the upper right corner, and set Start Date and End Date for log collection to 10 minutes ahead of and after the alarm generation time, respectively. Then, click Download.
  4. Contact the O&M personnel and send the collected logs.

Alarm Clearing

After the fault is rectified, the system automatically clears this alarm.
