Jean-Daniel Cryans commented on HBASE-7831: ------------------------------------------- In HRS we have the concept of aborting on shutting down (abortRequested). It probably needs improvement. > 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. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
