---------------------------
> Signalling server-hosted-clients to abort retries
> -------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HBASE-19834
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-19834
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Reporter: stack
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 2.0.0-beta-2
>
>
> A few recent flakey tests have been variations on the server-hosted-client
> retrying against a server or region that is never going to show up – usually
> because cluster is being shutdown. One example is client stuck, retrying to
> update hbase:meta with change in region or table state but hbase:meta is
> down. Another is HBASE-19794 where the test hangs because backup Master is
> trying to become active and as part of the startup, it is trying to read
> table state from hbase:meta but hbase:meta is not available; it has been put
> down as part of the cluster shutdown.
> One difficulty is that the master main thread can get hung-up by the client
> retries (in some cases the client retries are in-lined with the main thread
> so it is 'blocked'); it is no longer available to receive cluster shutdown or
> other event types (e.g. see HBASE-19794). Some of our startup needs to be
> refactored moved into our run method rather than done as some big
> single-threaded startup as happens now in Master. We need this also for the
> HBASE-19831 work.
