Vincent Poon commented on PHOENIX-4130:
---------------------------------------
[~jamestaylor] Since we are now retrying from the client, is it necessary to
set the REPLAY_WRITES (ignoreNewerMutations) attribute ? (i.e. since the data
table write succeeded, but the index write failed, and we're now retrying the
mutation from the client). We went through some changes with that flag so
wasn't sure if that's still necessary for this scenario
> Avoid server retries for mutable indexes

> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Lars Hofhansl

> Had some discussions with [~jamestaylor], [~samarthjain], and [~vincentpoon],
> during which I suggested that we can possibly eliminate retry loops happening
> at the server that cause the handler threads to be stuck potentially for
> quite a while (at least multiple seconds to ride over common scenarios like
> splits).
> Instead we can do the retries at the Phoenix client that.
> So:
> # The index updates are not retried on the server. (retries = 0)
> # A failed index update would set the failed index timestamp but leave the
> index enabled.
> # Now the handler thread is done, it throws an appropriate exception back to
> the client.
> # The Phoenix client can now retry. When those retries fail the index is
> disabled (if the policy dictates that) and throw the exception back to its
> caller.
> So no more waiting is needed on the server, handler threads are freed
> immediately.
