> When a server host with a Region Server holding the .META. table is powered
> down on a live cluster, while the HBase cluster itself detects and reassigns
> the .META. table, connected HBase Client's take an excessively long time to
> detect this and re-discover the reassigned .META.
> Workaround: Decrease the ipc.socket.timeout on HBase Client side to a low
> value (default is 20s leading to 35 minute recovery time; we were able to get
> acceptable results with 100ms getting a 3 minute recovery)
> This was found during some hardware failure testing scenarios.
> Test Case:
> 1) Apply load via client app on HBase cluster for several minutes
> 2) Power down the region server holding the .META. server (i.e. power off ...
> and keep it off)
> 3) Measure how long it takes for cluster to reassign META table and for
> client threads to re-lookup and re-orient to the lesser cluster (minus the RS
> and DN on that host).
> Observation:
> 1) Client threads spike up to maxThreads size ... and take over 35 mins to
> recover (i.e. for the thread count to go back to normal) - no client calls
> are serviced - they just back up on a synchronized method (see #2 below)
> 2) All the client app threads queue up behind the
> oahh.ipc.HBaseClient#setupIOStreams method http://tinyurl.com/7js53dj
> After taking several thread dumps we found that the thread within this
> synchronized method was blocked on NetUtils.connect(this.socket,
> remoteId.getAddress(), getSocketTimeout(conf));
> The client thread that gets the synchronized lock would try to connect to the
> dead RS (till socket times out after 20s), retries, and then the next thread
> gets in and so forth in a serial manner.
> Workaround:
> -------------------
> Default ipc.socket.timeout is set to 20s. We dropped this to a low number
> (1000 ms, 100 ms, etc) on the client side hbase-site.xml. With this setting,
> the client threads recovered in a couple of minutes by failing fast and
> re-discovering the .META. table on a reassigned RS.
> Assumption: This ipc.socket.timeout is only ever used during the initial
> "HConnection" setup via the NetUtils.connect and should only ever be used
> when connectivity to a region server is lost and needs to be re-established.
> i.e it does not affect the normal "RPC" actiivity as this is just the connect
> timeout.
> During RS GC periods, any _new_ clients trying to connect will fail and will
> require .META. table re-lookups.
> This above timeout workaround is only for the HBase client side.
