James Taylor commented on PHOENIX-1112:
---------------------------------------
bq. I can remove INDEX_NEED_PARTIALLY_REBUILD if such use case isn't needed
Yes, let's remove it. We can always add it down-the-road if we need it for a
new use case.
bq. Yes, that's by intention.
With your patch, will the region server ever kill itself?

> This is a short-term work around & safe approach. Currently we disable an
> index when index update failed(still possible bring down the whole cluster).
> After an index is disable, human needs to be involved to rebuild entire index
> which maybe not ideal.
> The patch adds the support to automatically rebuild an disable index
> partially from where it failed. In addition, it removes RS abort during WAL
> recovery to prevent chain failures because we don't have to.
> To disable automatically rebuilding failed index, add the following
> configuration into hbase-site.xml:
> {noformat}
> <property>
> <name>phoenix.index.failure.handling.rebuild</name>
> <value>false</value>
> </property>
> {noformat}
