James Taylor commented on PHOENIX-3360:
---------------------------------------
The intention is that ServerRpcControllerFactory is only used on the server. In
this case, we know that any RPC is due to an index needing to be updated (hence
there's not check). If docs don't make that clear, they should definitely be
updated.
I would love to use HBASE-15816 as we could get rid of all this
RpcControllerFactory nonsense (which we only used because we have no HBase API
to set the priority). This would make it much more clear.

> Key: PHOENIX-3360
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PHOENIX-3360
> Project: Phoenix
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Enis Soztutar
> Priority: Critical
>
> IndexRpcScheduler allocates some handler threads and uses a higher priority
> for RPCs. The corresponding IndexRpcController is not used by default as it
> is, but used through ServerRpcControllerFactory that we configure from Ambari
> by default which sets the priority of the outgoing RPCs to either metadata
> priority, or the index priority.
> However, after reading code of IndexRpcController / ServerRpcController it
> seems that the IndexRPCController DOES NOT look at whether the outgoing RPC
> is for an Index table or not. It just sets ALL rpc priorities to be the index
> priority. The intention seems to be the case that ONLY on servers, we
> configure ServerRpcControllerFactory, and with clients we NEVER configure
> ServerRpcControllerFactory, but instead use ClientRpcControllerFactory. We
> configure ServerRpcControllerFactory from Ambari, which in affect makes it so
> that ALL rpcs from Phoenix are only handled by the index handlers by default.
> It means all deadlock cases are still there.
> The documentation in https://phoenix.apache.org/secondary_indexing.html is
> also wrong in this sense. It does not talk about server side / client side.
> Plus this way of configuring different values is not how HBase configuration
> is deployed. We cannot have the configuration show the
> ServerRpcControllerFactory even only for server nodes, because the clients
> running on those nodes will also see the wrong values.
