Alicia Ying Shu commented on PHOENIX-2221:
------------------------------------------
[~jamestaylor] Thanks for the comments. I made some modifications.
1. Need to set index state to be ACTIVE in PUT of
PhoenixIndexFailurePolicy.java. Otherwise the coprocessorService would hang on
updating unset index state.
2. In MetaDataClient.buildPartialIndexFromTimeStamp(....), have to set the
index state to be INACTIVE first for default disable index failure policy since
this policy shares some implementation with that of INACTIVE state. Otherwise
the test would fail.
3. With current implementation, it is hard to get the index disable timestamp
in the test (ReadOnlyIndexFailureIT.java) since the index table was deleted to
trigger index failure recovery. The cached table was not updated with the index
disable timestamp. When writing to the data table while index is rebuilt, the
cached disable index timestamp is 0, while before we used table metadata to
check the index state. This is my concern for this approach. Please review the
patch. Thanks.

> In one usecase, it was deemed better to not accept writes when the index
> regions are unavailable for any reason (as opposed to disabling the index and
> the queries doing bigger data-table scans).
> The idea is that the index regions are kept consistent with the data regions,
> and when a query runs against the index regions, one can be reasonably sure
> that the query ran with the most recent data in the data regions. When the
> index regions are unavailable, the writes to the data table are rejected.
> Read queries off of the index regions would have deterministic performance
> (and on the other hand if the index is disabled, then the read queries would
> have to go to the data regions until the indexes are rebuilt, and the queries
> would suffer).
