Andrew Purtell commented on HBASE-22460:
----------------------------------------
The counter argument is an "instantaneous" close and reopen on the regionserver
does not change the assignment state.
The master can still be notified the region has closed, and then notified again
when it has reopened. There may need to be master side changes to accommodate
this, true.
I don't have a strong preference either way.
> Reopen a region if store reader references may have leaked

> We can leak store reader references if a coprocessor or core function somehow
> opens a scanner, or wraps one, and then does not take care to call close on
> the scanner or the wrapped instance. A reasonable mitigation for a reader
> reference leak would be a fast reopen of the region on the same server
> (initiated by the RS) This will release all resources, like the refcount,
> leases, etc. The clients should gracefully ride over this like any other
> region transition. This reopen would be like what is done during schema
> change application and ideally would reuse the relevant code. If the refcount
> is over some ridiculous threshold this mitigation could be triggered along
> with a fat WARN in the logs.
