Sean Busbey commented on HBASE-13128: ------------------------------------- on Hadoop 2.6.0+, we'll already block and wait to create this file for ~5 minutes. (see HBASE-12607). Would updating your HDFS version work for your case? > Make HBCK's lock file retry creation and deletion > ------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-13128 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-13128 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: hbck > Reporter: Victoria > Priority: Minor > > When hbck runs it creates a lock file to ensure that no two hbck instances > are running. We've been seeing creating and removing that file fail sometimes. > This improvement should make the creation, closing of the file, and the > deletion retry multiple times. This should allow our alerting which uses this > command to be more reliable and have fewer false positives. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
