This may be a result of ACCUMULO-3372. If you jstack your new tablet server, does it show a deadlock?

There's a trivial patch (which you can find through the bug report), which will be in accumulo 1.6.2. -Eric On Mon, Jan 12, 2015 at 4:06 PM, Denis <de...@camfex.cz> wrote: > I have not tried yet anything newer than 1.6.1 > > On 1/12/15, Josh Elser <els...@apache.org> wrote: > > Denis wrote: > >> created https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-3471 > > > > Thanks a bunch! > > > >> BTW, In 1.6.1 also balancing may get stuck until the master server is > >> restarted. > > > > Is this a known issue in 1.6.1 that's been since fixed or is it still > > outstanding? > > > >> But then, after the master restart, balancing works very > >> "aggressively", putting many tablets offline for quite long time > >> (minutes) > >> > >> On 1/11/15, Denis<de...@camfex.cz> wrote: > >>> Sometimes it left unbalanced with new tserver hosts zero tablets or > >>> much less that others. > >>> So I had to restart master to initiate the balancing process. > >>> Then balancing was performed slowly without putting thousands of > >>> tablets offline. > >>> > >>> On 1/11/15, John Vines<vi...@apache.org> wrote: > >>>> I have a hunch that the 1.4 version being used possibly had one or > more > >>>> of > >>>> the many bugs regarding balancing getting 'stuck', which was typically > >>>> resolved via bouncing the master.
