Sergey Shelukhin updated HBASE-7659: ------------------------------------ Assignee: (was: Sergey Shelukhin) > add an option for timeout, rather than retry limit, in HCM > ---------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-7659 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-7659 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Client > Reporter: Sergey Shelukhin > > Retry count limit is not the most useful user-facing measure for failing the > request, especially multi-requests that currently fail if any one sub-action > reaches the retry count. > Given the current deterministic implementation of retry count limit and > deterministic (+-jitter) sleep time between retries, the user is already > giving us an upper time bound for an operation to expire (with default 10 > retries, around a minute). > We can make this explicit. > That will also make making retries smarter (e.g. retrying faster on certain > errors) more easy. > In future these things can be set per request, which can be usable for people > using HBase directly from their code. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
