Chris Trezzo commented on HBASE-2611:
-------------------------------------
[~hvash...@cs.ualberta.ca] Hmm I may have miss spoke... atomic was not the
right word choice.
bq. But the retries in RecoverableZookeeper are not atomic... if the region
server fails in the middle of RecoverableZooKeeper.multi, the queues will not
get transferred.
I see that as long as a multi hasn't succeeded, all region servers will
continue to try and failover the queues. So the problem seems to be more along
the lines of if all region servers exhaust their multi retries, then the queues
would get lost.
Is there ever a case in practice where we would run into this and zookeeper is
not down?
