The WAL splitting of RegionServer fails when the node is powered on and off.

Solution

  1. Stop HBase.
  2. Run the hdfs fsck command to check the health status of the /hbase/WALs file.

    hdfs fsck /hbase/WALs

    If the following command output is displayed, all files are normal. If any file is abnormal, rectify the fault, and then perform the subsequent operations.

    The filesystem under path '/hbase/WALs' is HEALTHY

  3. Back up the /hbase/WALs file.

    hdfs dfs -mv /hbase/WALs /hbase/WALs_old

  4. Run the following command to create the /hbase/WALs directory.

    hdfs dfs -mkdir /hbase/WALs

    Make sure that the permission on the directory is hbase:hadoop.

  5. Start HBase.
