stack commented on HBASE-7170: ------------------------------ TestFromClientSide intentionally has lots of tests in it to cut down on our spinning up cluster instances. Patch looks good to me. You need to release note changed behavior? > [0.94 branch] Allow HConnectionImplementation to reconnect to master multiple > times > ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-7170 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-7170 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Task > Reporter: Gregory Chanan > Assignee: Gregory Chanan > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 0.94.4 > > Attachments: HBASE-7170.patch > > > HBASE-5058 retained the old behavior of managed HConnections not retrying > their connection to master b/c of the "masterChecked" variable. > This behavior isn't great though, because you can get in the following > situation: > 1) Connect to master using HBaseAdmin > 2) Master goes down > 3) New master takes over > 4) The HBaseAdmin object is now useless > The client needs to create a new HBaseAdmin in this case. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
