createTableAsync gets blocked and it is not an asynchronous operation ---------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HBASE-5614 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-5614 Project: HBase Issue Type: Bug Components: master, regionserver Affects Versions: 0.90.4 Reporter: Mubarak Seyed I have created table A using {{HBaseAdmin.createTableAsync()}} with 2000 pre-split regions, the expectation was client RPC call does not get blocked and i had only used 5 minutes as RPC socket timeout value. It appears from logs/code that clients gets blocked (honoring the {{hbase.rpc.timeout}} value), times out after 5 minutes, master nio channel gets closed (related to client which invoked the createAsyncTable operation), put region entries in inconsistent state in META, meaning {{info:server}} is marked as null and AssignmentManager gets null server value (which causes NPE) and causes to table creation fail, i could not succeed until changing the {{hbase.rpc.timeout}} value to 15 minutes and created tables one at a time (each table has more than 2K pre-split regions in it) Please refer the logs. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
