Hi All, we seem to have overcome this occasional exception by changing
HTable from being called through ConnectionManager vs. directly
instantiating HTable.
OLD BAD:
connection = HConnectionManager.createConnection(config);
protected HTableInterface getHTable(String tableName) throws IOException
{
//Connection might have been closed since we acquired
it...create a
//new one if this is the case
if (connection == null || connection.isClosed())
{
log.info("HConnection null or
closed...reopening");
connection =
HConnectionManager.createConnection(config);
}
return connection.getTable(tableName);
}
NEW GOOD:
public HTableInterface getHTable(byte[] tableName) throws IOException
{
return new HTable(conf, tableName);
}
Comment on this link [0] is why they opted down the initial - BAD path:
". Instances of this class can be constructed directly but it is
encouraged that users get instances via HConnection and HConnectionManager
. See HConnectionManager class comment for an example. "

We run the workload for a few days and it seems fine. We are not sure why
this occurs but somebody listens this thread may have a better idea.
Thanks for all your help!
Best regards,
Wei
