James Taylor commented on PHOENIX-4130:
---------------------------------------
How about for HBase 1.2 and below we retry on server for local indexes? We
don’t really recommend local indexes on pre 1.3 versions, so perhaps best to
keep it simple? Otherwise, I’d go with your option #1 and pass more state
through RPC. One unrelated question: if namespaces are in use, does your means
of parsing out the table names still work? Not sure if there will be a :
separator or a . separator.

> 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.
