ramkrishna.s.vasudevan commented on HBASE-6289: ----------------------------------------------- @Stack Any specific reason why we are verifying and then assigning the root region alone? > ROOT region doesn't get re-assigned in ServerShutdownHandler if the RS is > still working but only the RS's ZK node expires. > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-6289 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-6289 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Bug > Components: master > Affects Versions: 0.90.6, 0.94.0 > Reporter: Maryann Xue > Assignee: Maryann Xue > Priority: Critical > Attachments: HBASE-6289.patch > > > The ROOT RS has some network problem and its ZK node expires first, which > kicks off the ServerShutdownHandler. it calls verifyAndAssignRoot() to try to > re-assign ROOT.
