Feng Honghua created HBASE-10564: ------------------------------------ Summary: HRegionServer.nextLong should be removed since it's not used anywahre, or should be used somewhere it meant to Key: HBASE-10564 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-10564 Project: HBase Issue Type: Bug Components: regionserver Reporter: Feng Honghua Assignee: Feng Honghua Priority: Minor
HRegionServer has its own nextLong method as below: {code} /** * Generate a random positive long number * * @return a random positive long number */ protected long nextLong() { long n = rand.nextLong(); if (n == 0) { return nextLong(); } if (n < 0) { n = -n; } return n; } {code} # It's never called anywhere, if we can ensure it's really useless, it should be removed # Looks likely below should use *nextLong* rather than *rand.nextLong*(but not sure): {code} protected long addScanner(RegionScanner s, HRegion r) throws LeaseStillHeldException { long scannerId = -1; while (true) { scannerId = Math.abs(rand.nextLong() << 24) ^ startcode; String scannerName = String.valueOf(scannerId); RegionScannerHolder existing = scanners.putIfAbsent(scannerName, new RegionScannerHolder(s, r)); if (existing == null) { this.leases.createLease(scannerName, this.scannerLeaseTimeoutPeriod, new ScannerListener(scannerName)); break; } } return scannerId; } {code} # Its implemenation would be better if {code} if (n == 0) { return nextLong(); } {code} is changed to below (with better readability and (possible) less call-stacks by removing recursion) {code} while (n == 0) { n = rand.nextLong(); } {code} -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.1.5#6160)
