Jonathan Lawlor commented on HBASE-13333:
-----------------------------------------
Change LGTM, don't see any reason why it would conflict with any of the recent
scanner fixes. Sounds like a nice feature!
> Renew Scanner Lease without advancing the RegionScanner

> We have a usecase (for Phoenix) where we want to let the server know that the
> client is still around. Like a client-side heartbeat.
> Doing a full heartbeat is complicated, but we could add the ability to make
> scanner call with caching set to 0. The server already does the right thing
> (it renews the lease, but does not advance the scanner).
> It looks like the client (ScannerCallable) also does the right thing. We
> cannot break ResultScanner before HBase 2.0, but we can add a renewLease()
> method to AbstractClientScaner. Phoenix (or any other caller) can then cast
> to ClientScanner and call that method to ensure we renew the lease on the
> server.
> It would be a simple and fully backwards compatible change. [~giacomotaylor]
