----------------------------------------
Summary: Configure a max global timeout for HMaster to wait for RS
to check in
Key: HBASE-24911
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-24911
Project: HBase
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Sandeep Guggilam
Assignee: Sandeep Guggilam
As part of the initialization process for active master, it waits for region
servers to check in before completing the initialization. Currently it runs
into a loop where it waits in the loop for ever when there are no region
servers that are reported to it
([https://github.com/apache/hbase/blob/branch-1/hbase-server/src/main/java/org/apache/hadoop/hbase/master/ServerManager.java#L1126)]
We should probably have a global max timeout after which the master should give
up and abort itself letting other masters to take over as active master . This
is especially useful in the cases where the incoming connections to the master
are not accepted because of network issue
