stack commented on HADOOP-5744: ------------------------------- Thanks Hairong. Any comment on the unqualified 'delay' made mention of in the spec? What kind of time scale should we be thinking in? If it is an 'hour' as I believe is the current default for lease timeout, hbase-like applications will have given up the wait long before. If its in the tens of seconds -- ~30 seconds -- as I'm currently seeing in HBASE-4379 patches I'm helping Dhruba test, then that is still too long but tolerable in a first release, as long as it can be improved on over time ("Instantaneous" would be the ideal).
