Lars Hofhansl commented on HBASE-7438:
--------------------------------------
That's what I want to find out. :)
There are various places where the code will wait forever for
* a region server to shut down
* a znode to be created
* daughter regions to come online
* region to to go in or out of transition
* tables to come online
* splits or split rollbacks to happen
* etc
These timeouts are not to make the test faster, but to guard against it never
terminating.
> TestSplitTransactionOnCluster has too many infinite loops

> There are many cases in these test where we loop until a condition happens.
> If that condition never occurs we'll wait forever, and the test will time out
> instead of failing.
