Lars Hofhansl commented on HBASE-6326: -------------------------------------- Looking at the code, the problem should exist in 0.96 too. > Nested retry loops in HConnectionManager > ---------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-6326 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-6326 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Lars Hofhansl > Priority: Critical > Fix For: 0.94.1 > > Attachments: 6326.txt > > > While testing client timeouts when the HBase is not available we found that > even with aggressive settings, it takes the client 10 minutes or more to > finally receive an exception. > Part of this is due to nested nested retry loops in locateRegion. > locateRegion will first try to locate the table in meta (which is retried), > then it will try to locate the meta table is root (which is also retried). > So for each retry of the meta lookup we retry the root lookup as well. > I have have that avoids locateRegion retrying if it is called from code that > already has a retry loop. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
