Nick Dimiduk created HBASE-24292: ------------------------------------ Summary: A "stuck" master should not idle as active without taking action Key: HBASE-24292 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-24292 Project: HBase Issue Type: Bug Components: master, Region Assignment Affects Versions: 2.3.0 Reporter: Nick Dimiduk
The master schedules a SCP for the region server hosting meta. However, due to a misconfiguration, the cluster cannot make progress. After fixing the configuration issue and restarting, the cluster still cannot make progress. After the configured period (15 minuets), the master enters a "holding pattern" where it retains Active master status, but isn't taking any action. This "brown-out" state is toxic. It should either keep trying to make progress, or it should abort. Staying up and not doing anything is the wrong thing to do. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
