Samarth Jain commented on HBASE-18359:
--------------------------------------
We need our connections to have a different configuration that the one in
hbase-site.xml. The current custom configs mostly are related to remote RPCs,
so probably in case of short-circuit we can use the same connection as the RS
one. In future, it may change. So to avoid the any such hard to catch
regression, I think the best approach would be to just let the clients manage
the life cycle of the connection. Explicit documentation on the lines of "You
know what you are doing. And that creating too many connections will make you
run out of ZK resources, etc" would help. In Phoenix we guard against that by
caching the connection.

> Key: HBASE-18359

> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Samarth Jain
> Fix For: 2.0.0
>
>
> It seems like the method getConnectionForEnvironment isn't doing the right
> thing when it is creating a CoprocessorHConnection by reading the config from
> HRegionServer and not from the env passed in.
> If coprocessors want to use a CoprocessorHConnection with some custom config
> settings, then they have no option but to configure it in the hbase-site.xml
> of the region servers. This isn't ideal as a lot of times these "global"
> level configs can have side effects. See PHOENIX-3974 as an example where
> configuring ServerRpcControllerFactory (a Phoenix implementation of
> RpcControllerFactory) could result in deadlocks. Or PHOENIX-3983 where
> presence of this global config causes our index rebuild code to incorrectly
> use handlers it shouldn't.
> If the CoprocessorHConnection created through getConnectionForEnvironment API
> used the CoprocessorEnvironment config, then it would allow co-processors to
> pass in their own config without needing to configure them in hbase-site.xml.
> The change would be simple. Basically change the below
> {code}
> if (services instanceof HRegionServer) {
> return new CoprocessorHConnection((HRegionServer) services);
> }
> {code}
> to
> {code}
> if (services instanceof HRegionServer) {
> return new CoprocessorHConnection(env.getConfiguration(),
> (HRegionServer) services);
> }
> {code}
