I'm on Eclipse, but I think I'm an "old dog" for not having switched over by now ;). To my knowledge, more devs are using Intellij than Eclipse/other.

If you stumble onto anything that would be good for other devs, I think that would be a nice addition to the HBase book.

Thanks Josh, are you using IntelliJ or Eclipse?

This is one of those things that has annoyed me for a while but I never
really bothered to look at it in detail, your comment made me do it.

I think IntelliJ by default always suspends all threads when it hits a
breakpoint but you can manually switch it to suspend a thread only as I
just found out. That should help. I'll try.

I'd guess this depends on where you're setting the breakpoints -- I
haven't run into the same problem you're describing.

Most of the time I have to do this, it's either in an RPC handler thread
or in a daemon thread we spawned off for some specific purpose. These would
naturally not preclude the RS from continuing to talk to ZK or the Master.

Hi everyone,

this might sound like a stupid question but how do you go about debugging
HBase? (With the Java debugger I mean)

I use IntelliJ to attach to the running Master or RegionServer as needed,
set breakpoints etc.

But every time I do so the connection to ZK times out and Master or RS are
declared dead. I _always_ forget to set the timeout high enough.

I'm using IntelliJ.

Are you doing anything differently? Is there a way to not pause all
threads
when debugging so the heartbeats to ZK keep on going?

Thanks,
Larss
