hi, we are using hbase 96.0(also saw the same issue on 94.x) on single node cluster. At some point, we stopped Hadoop, but keep hbase rerunning. As expected, hbase began to throw following errors: .. 2014-02-04 11:05:12,820 ERROR org.apache.hadoop.hbase.executor.EventHandler: Caught throwable while processing event M_META_SERVER_SHUTDOWN ...... Caused by: java.net.ConnectException: Call From bdvm311.svl.ibm.com/9.30.123.64 to bdvm311.svl.ibm.com:9000 failed on connection exception: java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused; For more details see: http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/ConnectionRefused ..
the whole exception log is pasted here: http://pastebin.com/9jfvfSmA while everything(error/exception) is valid, hbase keep retrying, and the log files grow to 25 GB within 3 hours. So, I am wondering whether there is a configuration to reduce the frequency of retry, or maybe we can twist the code to do it automatically? thank for your suggestion Demai
