Bryan Duxbury commented on HADOOP-2388:
---------------------------------------

Are there any realistic situations in which a scanner is actually unknown, or 
are all those situations just LeaseTimedOutExceptions with the wrong name? I 
ask because I do not want to mask genuine errors with the wrong message.

> [hbase] When a scanner lease times out, throw a more "user friendly" exception

> Currently, if a client spends too much time between next() requests on a 
> scanner (or between scanner creation and the first call to next), the region 
> server will time out the scanner and close. The next call to next() will 
> receive an UnknownScannerException because all knowledge of the scanner was 
> wiped out on the server when the lease expired.
> The the client side scanner should keep a timer so it compute the elapsed 
> time between next() calls so that if it receives an UnknownScannerException, 
> it can determine if the scanner lease timed out and if so, throw a more "user 
> friendly" exception such as LeaseTimedOutException
