Jonathan Hsieh commented on HBASE-5589: --------------------------------------- I've tested a version of this at adds the offline method "in the middle" of the HMasterInterface and then setup a cluster with a patched master (check version hash on web port) and 5 unpatched region servers (check version hash on web port). Methods below offline included balancer toggles -- I assumed that if order of declaration mattered the methods after the inserted method would have compatibility problems. The methods below were balancer() and balance_switch(bool). I fired up an shell with the prepatched version issued balancer commands. They succeeded. I fired up a shell with patch version and issued balancer commands. They also succeeded. This might be due to some reflection/concidence with jruby so I'm going to dig into the rpc code to verify as well. > Add of the offline call to the Master Interface > ----------------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-5589 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-5589 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: hbck > Affects Versions: 0.90.6, 0.92.0, 0.94.0, 0.96.0 > Reporter: Jonathan Hsieh > Assignee: Jonathan Hsieh > > Hbck from HBASE-5128 requires an offline method on the master to properly > cleanup state during certain assignment repair operations.
