get rid of scanner timeout -------------------------- Key: HBASE-2161 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-2161 Project: Hadoop HBase Issue Type: Bug Reporter: ryan rawson Fix For: 0.21.0
the client side code has this in ClientScanner.next(): if (e instanceof UnknownScannerException && lastNext + scannerTimeout < System.currentTimeMillis()) { ScannerTimeoutException ex = new ScannerTimeoutException(); ex.initCause(e); throw ex; } This will cause the client-side to timeout after the 'scannerTimeout'. There doesn't seem to be any good reason for this - we can just restart the scanner at the last row. Leave the server-side scanner as is, but clients should be able to have a 5 day scan that is continuously being restarted. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
