> Key: HBASE-30291
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-30291
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: backup&restore
> Reporter: Hernan Romer
> Priority: Major
> Labels: pull-request-available
>
> The BackupHFileCleaner scans the backups system table once per call to
> getDeletableFiles, which is invoked separately for every region in the
> cluster. On clusters with many regions (~40k), this results in tens of
> thousands of redundant full scans of the same table in a single cleaner
> cycle. This causes the cleaner to take so long that it misses its scheduled
> start time and runs continuously, generating sustained high read request
> volume against the host holding the system tables.
>
> Because the cleaner can't keep up, archived HFiles accumulate on disk,
> leading to unexpected spikes in disk utilization (40% increase observed in
> one case). The problem is exacerbated on clusters that do frequent bulk
> loads, since compactions triggered by those bulk loads produce a large volume
> of archived HFiles that the cleaner needs to process.
