------------------------------------

             Summary: RegionServer will fail to report new active Hmaster until 
HMaster/RegionServer failover
                 Key: HBASE-16807
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-16807
             Project: HBase
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Pankaj Kumar


It's little weird, but it happened in the product environment that few 
RegionServer missed master znode create notification on master failover. In 
that case ZooKeeperNodeTracker will not refresh the cached data and 
MasterAddressTracker 
will always return old active HM detail to Region server on ServiceException.

Though We create region server stub on failure but without refreshing the 
MasterAddressTracker data.

In HRegionServer.createRegionServerStatusStub()
{code}
  boolean refresh = false; // for the first time, use cached data
    RegionServerStatusService.BlockingInterface intf = null;
    boolean interrupted = false;
    try {
      while (keepLooping()) {
        sn = this.masterAddressTracker.getMasterAddress(refresh);
        if (sn == null) {
          if (!keepLooping()) {
            // give up with no connection.
            LOG.debug("No master found and cluster is stopped; bailing out");
            return null;
          }
          if (System.currentTimeMillis() > (previousLogTime + 1000)) {
            LOG.debug("No master found; retry");
            previousLogTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
          }
          refresh = true; // let's try pull it from ZK directly
          if (sleep(200)) {
            interrupted = true;
          }
          continue;
        }
{code}

Here we refresh node only when 'sn' is NULL otherwise it will use same cached 
data. 

So in above case RegionServer will never report active HMaster successfully 
until HMaster failover or RegionServer restart.
