---------------------------------------
Summary: lightweight way to make RS commit suicide
Key: HBASE-7831
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-7831
Project: HBase
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Sergey Shelukhin
Priority: Minor
There are times in the life of many a region server when it realizes that it
cannot go on any longer in the hostile, inhospitable environment. Or it might
realize that there's something inherently wrong with it on the inside (probably
because a developer screwed up). The only way out is killing itself.
There's code in some places currently that does Runtime halt in such cases, and
there may be code that calls HRegionServer method to do this.
I think we need some easy-to-access (lightweight interface, or static) way to
trigger reliable (no catching exceptions on the upper levels, etc.) RS death in
such cases.
