最近生产环境hbase集群出现停掉集群之后hmaster无法启动现象，master日志报异常：Timedout 300000ms waiting for namespace table to be assigned，导致整个集群起不来。
2016-12-12 18:04:12,243 FATAL [adfnn2:16020.activeMasterManager] master.HMaster: Failed to become active master java.io.IOException: Timedout 300000ms waiting for namespace table to be assigned at org.apache.hadoop.hbase.master.TableNamespaceManager.start(TableNamespaceManager.java:98) at org.apache.hadoop.hbase.master.HMaster.initNamespace(HMaster.java:868) at org.apache.hadoop.hbase.master.HMaster.finishActiveMasterInitialization(HMaster.java:719) at org.apache.hadoop.hbase.master.HMaster.access$500(HMaster.java:165) at org.apache.hadoop.hbase.master.HMaster$1.run(HMaster.java:1425)
首先怀疑regionserver加载namespace region出现异常，导致namespace表加载失败，但是查看所有regionserver日志，没有异常出现。
那么就分析master日志，更改log4j日志为debug，看看能不能找到关键信息，有没可能是region太多，在五分钟之内没有分配完导致namespace表还没加载，看下面的region分配日志，2016-12-12 17:59:36,571之后再也没有region分配日志，说明所有region已经分配完成，再看看上面异常日志，2016-12-12 18:04:12,243报的异常，17:59:36,571至18:04:12,243期间没有region分配，的确说明region已经全部分配完成。

hbase:metahbase:namespace表没有被分配？为什么没有被分配？难道是namespace表有问题导致不能分配？于是让同事把生产环境namespace表目录取下来放到自己的开发环境，namespace表目录比较乱，namespace还嵌namespace，我相信肯定不是维护人员干的，即使namespace嵌套，也不应该影响namepace的region加载。

把生产环境/hbase1.0.0/data/hbase/namespace/namespace删掉之后再启动集群，结果还是报一样的异常错误，好吧，那就把/hbase1.0.0/data/hbase/namespace/83739a75edfb427d8501a43c553caad8/recovered*删掉再启动集群，结果还是一样。
为了看namespace表到底有哪些记录，把/hbase1.0.0/data/hbase/namespace/83739a75edfb427d8501a43c553caad8/info下两个HFile考到自己开发环境namespace目录下，然后重启hbase集群，可以看到生产环境namespace有哪些记录。

可以看到namespace多了一条记录，说明namespace hfile也有没问题，那么问题到底在哪？难道hbase:meta表有问题，又让维护同事把meta目录取下来，meta表的HFile就不能直接放到hbase meta目录下了，否则生产环境的region在开发环境肯定找不到导致启动失败。可以通过HFile工具查看HFile里面的数据：
wangkai8@wangkai8 info$ hbase org.apache.hadoop.hbase.io.hfile.HFile -e -p -f /meta/1588230740/info/8e498a36f195450d91e07eb8ad4208c1|grep 'hbase:namespace'

可以看到只有一条记录，且只有一个列，正常namespace表如下
wangkai8@wangkai8 ~$ echo 'scan "hbase:meta"'|hbase shell|grep "hbase:namespace" hbase:namespace,,1481791022097.bd5c5e4af06be7540ce00e24c8949399. column=info:regioninfo, timestamp=1481791022263, value={ENCODED => bd5c5e4af06be7540ce00e24c8949399, NAME => 'hbase:namespace,,1481791022097.bd5c5e4af06be7540ce00e24c8949399.', STARTKEY => '', ENDKEY => ''} hbase:namespace,,1481791022097.bd5c5e4af06be7540ce00e24c8949399. column=info:seqnumDuringOpen, timestamp=1481791022325, value=\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x02 hbase:namespace,,1481791022097.bd5c5e4af06be7540ce00e24c8949399. column=info:server, timestamp=1481791022325, value=wangkai8dembp:61020 hbase:namespace,,1481791022097.bd5c5e4af06be7540ce00e24c8949399. column=info:serverstartcode, timestamp=1481791022325, value=1481791009329
也就是说生产环境namespace表缺少重要的info:server信息，这将导致namespace region在被AssignmentManager分配时跳过。再次查看hbase源码，region分配过程大致如下：
org.apache.hadoop.hbase.master.HMaster#finishActiveMasterInitialization->
org.apache.hadoop.hbase.master.AssignmentManager#joinCluster->
org.apache.hadoop.hbase.master.AssignmentManager#rebuildUserRegions->
org.apache.hadoop.hbase.master.AssignmentManager#processDeadServersAndRegionsInTransition->
org.apache.hadoop.hbase.master.AssignmentManager#assignAllUserRegions->
org.apache.hadoop.hbase.master.AssignmentManager#assign(java.util.Map<org.apache.hadoop.hbase.HRegionInfo,org.apache.hadoop.hbase.ServerName>)->
#创建region bulk plan分配计划
org.apache.hadoop.hbase.master.balancer.BaseLoadBalancer#retainAssignment->
#根据region plan开始真正执行region assign
org.apache.hadoop.hbase.master.AssignmentManager#assign(int, int, String, Map<ServerName,List<HRegionInfo>>)->
org.apache.hadoop.hbase.master.AssignmentManager#assign(ServerName, List<HRegionInfo>)->
//在zookeeper /hbase1.0.0/region-in-transition下创建待分配region信息
org.apache.hadoop.hbase.master.AssignmentManager#asyncSetOfflineInZooKeeper->
org.apache.hadoop.hbase.zookeeper.ZKAssign#asyncCreateNodeOffline->
org.apache.hadoop.hbase.zookeeper.ZKUtil#asyncCreate
生产环境这个异常问题在org.apache.hadoop.hbase.master.AssignmentManager#rebuildUserRegions这个方法，先来看看这个方法里面有什么内容
/** * Rebuild the list of user regions and assignment information. * <p> * Returns a set of servers that are not found to be online that hosted * some regions. * @return set of servers not online that hosted some regions per meta * @throws IOException */ Set<ServerName> rebuildUserRegions() throws IOException, KeeperException, CoordinatedStateException { Set<TableName> disabledOrEnablingTables = tableStateManager.getTablesInStates( ZooKeeperProtos.Table.State.DISABLED, ZooKeeperProtos.Table.State.ENABLING); Set<TableName> disabledOrDisablingOrEnabling = tableStateManager.getTablesInStates( ZooKeeperProtos.Table.State.DISABLED, ZooKeeperProtos.Table.State.DISABLING, ZooKeeperProtos.Table.State.ENABLING); // Region assignment from META List<Result> results = MetaTableAccessor.fullScanOfMeta(server.getConnection()); // Get any new but slow to checkin region server that joined the cluster Set<ServerName> onlineServers = serverManager.getOnlineServers().keySet(); // Set of offline servers to be returned Set<ServerName> offlineServers = new HashSet<ServerName>(); // Iterate regions in META for (Result result : results) { if (result == null && LOG.isDebugEnabled()){ LOG.debug("null result from meta - ignoring but this is strange."); continue; } RegionLocations rl = MetaTableAccessor.getRegionLocations(result); if (rl == null) continue; HRegionLocation[] locations = rl.getRegionLocations(); if (locations == null) continue; for (HRegionLocation hrl : locations) { HRegionInfo regionInfo = hrl.getRegionInfo(); if (regionInfo == null) continue; int replicaId = regionInfo.getReplicaId(); State state = RegionStateStore.getRegionState(result, replicaId); ServerName lastHost = hrl.getServerName(); //由于namespace表info:server为null，导致lastHost也为null ServerName regionLocation = RegionStateStore.getRegionServer(result, replicaId); regionStates.createRegionState(regionInfo, state, regionLocation, lastHost); //进而导致namespace region的状态为State.OFFLINE，master不分配此region if (!regionStates.isRegionInState(regionInfo, State.OPEN)) { // Region is not open (either offline or in transition), skip continue; } TableName tableName = regionInfo.getTable(); if (!onlineServers.contains(regionLocation)) { // Region is located on a server that isn't online offlineServers.add(regionLocation); if (useZKForAssignment) { regionStates.regionOffline(regionInfo); } } else if (!disabledOrEnablingTables.contains(tableName)) { // Region is being served and on an active server // add only if region not in disabled or enabling table regionStates.regionOnline(regionInfo, regionLocation); balancer.regionOnline(regionInfo, regionLocation); } else if (useZKForAssignment) { regionStates.regionOffline(regionInfo); } // need to enable the table if not disabled or disabling or enabling // this will be used in rolling restarts if (!disabledOrDisablingOrEnabling.contains(tableName) && !getTableStateManager().isTableState(tableName, ZooKeeperProtos.Table.State.ENABLED)) { setEnabledTable(tableName); } } } return offlineServers; }

到此根本问题已经定位，meta表数据丢失，原因可能是hbase集群在split操作时维护人员强行kill hbase造成，不管是什么原因导致这个问题，肯定跟hbase自身健壮性有关，不管维护人员在何种状态下stop或kill hbase，也不应该出现meta有问题。meta表本身可以通过hbase hbck -repair来修复，很尴尬的是在集群没启动的情况下hbase hbck用不了。
既然找到了问题，那就想办法解决。麻烦的是集群起不来，meta表没法修复，解决思想有两种：
方案1）修改hbase源码，如果region所属namespace，且server信息为空，人为指定一台regionserver给这个region，使其能被master分配出去，集群能起来，集群起来之后就好办，可以hbck repair meta，也可以进到hbase shell操作meta表。meta表修复之后stop集群，把hbase原来的jar包换回来，启动集群就ok了。
方案2）在开发环境meta表中put一条namespace info:server记录，指定一个regionserver地址，强制执行flush ‘hbase:meta’，生成包含namespace server信息的HFile，然后把HFile放到生产环境meta目录下，重启之后就可以恢复namespace server信息。
这次采用的解决方案是修改hbase源码，方案二没去验证，根据理论，应该是没问题。
/**
* org.apache.hadoop.hbase.MetaTableAccessor#getServerName
* 修改此方法，给namespace region指定一个regionserver地址 * Returns a {@link ServerName} from catalog table {@link Result}. * @param r Result to pull from * @return A ServerName instance or null if necessary fields not found or empty. */ private static ServerName getServerName(final Result r, final int replicaId) { byte[] serverColumn = getServerColumn(replicaId); Cell cell = r.getColumnLatestCell(getFamily(), serverColumn); //--------------------------------------------------------------------------- HRegionInfo regionInfo = getHRegionInfo(r, getRegionInfoColumn()); String tableName = regionInfo.getTable().getNameAsString(); if((cell == null || cell.getValueLength() == 0) && tableName.equals("hbase:namespace")) { return ServerName.valueOf("adfdn14:16020", 1481534251178L); } //--------------------------------------------------------------------------- if (cell == null || cell.getValueLength() == 0) return null; String hostAndPort = Bytes.toString( cell.getValueArray(), cell.getValueOffset(), cell.getValueLength()); byte[] startcodeColumn = getStartCodeColumn(replicaId); cell = r.getColumnLatestCell(getFamily(), startcodeColumn); if (cell == null || cell.getValueLength() == 0) return null; return ServerName.valueOf(hostAndPort, Bytes.toLong(cell.getValueArray(), cell.getValueOffset(), cell.getValueLength())); }
至此集群已经能正常启动，花了一天时间解决故障。
再来谈谈hbase的设计，master启动时首先分配meta表，然后再分配其它表，但是hbase:namespace系统表和其它用户表分配时同等对待，并没有先分配系统表再分配用户表，如果一个集群region非常多，默认5分钟可能还分配不到namespace表，还得修改hbase.master.namespace.init.timeout超时时间，总感觉有点不合理。
hbase hbck工具是很好用，但是在集群启动不了的情况下，meta表数据没法通过工具来修改，是否可以提供一个离线工具来方便生成HFile，或者提供一个miniCluster在集群瘫痪下能启动起来管理meta、namespace表。
最后想说的是，在生产环境最好不要直接kill掉master和regionserver，否则可能出现意想不到的问题，够你头疼一整子，哈哈
