>
> We run sometimes into the problem that when a thread running HBase client
> code is interrupted, it hangs. The problem is it is sleeping in
> HConnectionManager, in the methods locateRegionInMeta and
> getRegionServerWithRetries, where there is code like this:
> {code}
> try{
> Thread.sleep(getPauseTime(tries));
> } catch (InterruptedException e) {
> // continue
> }
> {code}
> which is located in a for-loop, so it will keep retrying even when someone
> requested the thread to stop its work.
> The attached patch proposes as fix to re-assert the interrupted status of the
> thread and to throw an IOException. Some other cases of
> InterruptedException-handling in the same class do a similar thing, though
> sometimes returning null or breaking. I found returning null causes NPE's in
> other locations so I think it is better to throw an informative exception.
> Side thought: I would not be against propagating the InterruptedException all
> the way up to the client APIs (HTable/HBaseAdmin), so that users who want to
> support interruptable threads do not have to check the interrupted flag. I'd
> need to check some more but I have the impression that now sometimes methods
> like HTable.get() simply return null when a thread is interrupted.
> Some background on good ways of handling InterruptedExceptions can be found
