Zhihong Yu commented on HBASE-5877: ----------------------------------- {code} + HRegionLocation newHrl = new HRegionLocation(hrl.getRegionInfo(), hostname, port); + if (newHrl == null ){ + // Should not happened. Just in case. {code} Under what condition would newHrl be null above ? Please remove the space between newHrl and ')' below: {code} + cacheLocation(hrl.getRegionInfo().getTableName(), newHrl ); {code} For updateCachedLocations(): {code} + hrl : getCachedLocation(tableName, row.getRow())); {code} Would the above code result in NPE since I see the following in javadoc: {code} + * @param row - can be null if hrl is not null. {code} More review comments to follow. > When a query fails because the region has moved, let the regionserver return > the new address to the client > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-5877 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-5877 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: client, master, regionserver > Affects Versions: 0.96.0 > Reporter: nkeywal > Assignee: nkeywal > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 0.96.0 > > Attachments: 5877.v1.patch, 5877.v12.patch, 5877.v6.patch > > > This is mainly useful when we do a rolling restart. This will decrease the > load on the master and the network load. > Note that a region is not immediately opened after a close. So: > - it seems preferable to wait before retrying on the other server. An > optimisation would be to have an heuristic depending on when the region was > closed. > - during a rolling restart, the server moves the regions then stops. So we > may have failures when the server is stopped, and this patch won't help. > The implementation in the first patch does: > - on the region move, there is an added parameter on the regionserver#close > to say where we are sending the region > - the regionserver keeps a list of what was moved. Each entry is kept 100 > seconds. > - the regionserver sends a specific exception when it receives a query on a > moved region. This exception contains the new address. > - the client analyses the exeptions and update its cache accordingly... -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
