Technical Debt
Minor - P4 I hit this assert on the relevant history feature branch, but I think it might be possible to do so on develop as well.
I spent some time debugging it on both the branches, I think the assert hits only on the feature branch mostly because we set pages to deleted way more often. It is worthwhile to spend time on debugging whether this assert is applicable on develop. Hence I am creating this ticket.
More details in this comment on WT-5228. I am pasting some content for completion:
Assert checks if the dhandle is not set to dead when dirtying a page, in the function __wt_page_only_modify_set:
WT_ASSERT(session, !F_ISSET(session->dhandle, WT_DHANDLE_DEAD))

In the feature branch prepare_lookaside01 hit this assert after the test completes and connection is closed.
What is happening:
- The test has completed and the connection is being closed, which causes dhandles to be discarded and set as WT_DHANDLE_DEAD
- The processing of discarding the dhandles causes the files to be evicted as part of the WT_SYNC_DISCARD cache operation. The affected file is being walked and it hits a deleted page.
- The deleted page is read back in the memory, so the page and tree are marked dirty and the contents are marked deleted.
- When marking the page dirty, we hit the assert that dhandle should not be dead.
