Key: HADOOP-1816 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-1816 Project: Hadoop Issue Type: Bug Components: contrib/hbase Reporter: stack Priority: Trivial A mismatch in the code on the cluster revealed an infinite loop. The .META. scanner is doing a socket timeout trying to contact a borked region server (The borked server was having trouble contacting hdfs because of of code version mismatch -- it was sort-of-working). We retry the timeout up to the retry limit but then rather than try and redeploy the unreachable .META. we just drop back into scanning at the old location.... I'll attach a log that illustrates the goings-on. I think this likely a trivial issue since it shouldn't really ever happen.... -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
