[hbase] 'Normal' operation should not depend on throwing of exceptions (e.g. NotServingRegionException) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HADOOP-1724 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-1724 Project: Hadoop Issue Type: Improvement Components: contrib/hbase Reporter: stack Priority: Minor Region server and client logs will have lots of the following when a cluster is being loaded: {code} org.apache.hadoop.hbase.NotServingRegionException: hbaserepository,,7144829661993961256 at org.apache.hadoop.hbase.HRegionServer.getRegion(HRegionServer.java:1208) at org.apache.hadoop.hbase.HRegionServer.getRegion(HRegionServer.java:1180) at org.apache.hadoop.hbase.HRegionServer.startUpdate(HRegionServer.java:1122) at org.apache.hadoop.hbase.HRegionServer.batchUpdate(HRegionServer.java:985) at sun.reflect.GeneratedMethodAccessor7.invoke(Unknown Source) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:25) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:597) at org.apache.hadoop.ipc.RPC$Server.call(RPC.java:340) at org.apache.hadoop.ipc.Server$Handler.run(Server.java:566) {code} The NotServingRegionException exception is thrown when the remote server is no longer serving the asked-for region (usually because its been split). The server throws the exception to provoke the client into making a new interrogation of region locations. It would be an improvement if such 'normal' operation was not built atop exceptions. For example, commits might return a 'region moved' message. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
