I argue that in addition to flushing the master region, the
flushMasterStore()RPC should also roll the WAL files being written by the HMaster.In clusters with small numbers of DataNodes (less than 9, in my experience), a rolling restart of the DataNodes will break WAL writers, in both HMasters and RegionServers. This can be worked around on RegionServers by calling
admin.rollWALWriter()on every RegionServer after restarting each DataNode. Currently, there is no equivalent way to do this to an HMaster. I think the most elegant solution is to augmentadmin.flushMasterStore().
