Himanshu Vashishtha commented on HBASE-2611:
--------------------------------------------
bq. But what can happen is that the region server who wins the race to take
over the dead region server's queues could die before it even manages to call
multi.
Not following your question. How can a regionserver wins a race before calling
multi? If regionserver "A" fails, *all* regionserver will call multi to do the
failover, and only one (let's say "B") will succeed. Now, if B also dies
meanwhile (while it has succeeded in transferring the queue from zk
perspective), the regionserver doing the failover for B will also process A's
znodes (as they are with B now). Therefore, I don't see we really need a retry.
Did I miss anything?
