Viraj Jasani commented on HBASE-24492: -------------------------------------- [~zhangduo] The issue is not visible at production level. This is a code improvement I would say. I was going through WAL specific code and stumbled upon ProtobufLogReader.readNext and realized that while(true) is a confusing for any reader. If you look at the code closely, there is no loop happening at all. And I am fine with keeping this till branch-2. > ProtobufLogReader.readNext does not need looping > ------------------------------------------------ > > Key: HBASE-24492 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-24492 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Task > Reporter: Viraj Jasani > Assignee: Viraj Jasani > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 3.0.0-alpha-1, 2.4.0 > > > ProtobufLogReader.readNext is using infinite while loop for the whole method, > however it returns value or throws errors in single execution. while(true) > was part of initial code and with better improvements in the method, this > loop has not been removed yet. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
