Jean-Daniel Cryans commented on HBASE-6273: ------------------------------------------- I think we should have two exceptions: - MasterNotRunning (you can contact the machine, but you get a connection refused and maybe I'd include PleaseHoldException) - MasterUnreachable (Unknown host, EOF, and probably other IOEs) This will really help operability, it happened a couple of time on the mailing list that someone would say "I got MasterNotRunning but it's running I can use it" when all they had was a connectivity issue. I'd prefer we don't do this for a point release. > HMasterInterface.isMasterRunning() requires clean up > ---------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-6273 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-6273 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Bug > Components: master > Affects Versions: 0.94.0 > Reporter: ramkrishna.s.vasudevan > Fix For: 0.94.1 > > > This JIRA is in reference to JD's comments regarding the clean up needed in > isMasterRunning().
