Josh Elser commented on HBASE-18906:
------------------------------------
{code}
+ /**
+ * Wait for all current flushes of the region to complete
+ *
+ * @param timeout The maximum time to wait in milliseconds.
+ */
{code}
Could we get a documentation update that tells me, as a consumer, what happens
if the {{timeout}} is exceeded? (should be an InterruptedException, right?).
Should {{Region#waitForFlushes(long)}} {{throws InterruptedException}}?
> Provide Region#waitForFlushes API

> Expose an API for the CPs to wait for all on going flushes in a Region. The
> API should support taking a time out.
> Background
> While reviewing HBASE-18183, Andy pointed out that Phoenix uses
> waitForFlushesAndCompactions and/or waitForFlushes for diff reasons. This
> issue is to see why they need them and whether alternate ways are possible.
> This seems to be too much internal stuff and a normal CP hook calling these
> would be dangerous.
> If there are alternate ways for Phoenix not to use this and not landing in
> issues (As said by Andy) we should suggest/fix for them.
