Sean Busbey commented on HBASE-15563:
-------------------------------------
I'd say worth the fix, but a low priority. Let's leave it marked as beginner in
case someone new to the project wants something to gnaw on a bit.
> 'counter' may overflow in BoundedGroupingStrategy

> {code}
> groupName = groupNames[counter.getAndIncrement() % groupNames.length];
> {code}
> Theoretically, counter can overflow and becomes negative then causes an
> ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException.
> But in practice, we need 2 billions different identifiers to make this
> happen, and before the overflow we will run into OOM because of a huge
> groupNameCache...
> So not sure if it is worth to fix
