Jean-Daniel Cryans commented on HBASE-3259:
-------------------------------------------
bq. Like you said, maybe this is bad for usability, not sure this is blocking
or a bug.
I foresee that a majority of our new users will hit this issue if they have any
sort of trouble setting up their cluster, so I think this is a blocker.
bq. You want to make it so you can just 'kill' without -9?
Not just kill, but also "hbase-daemon.sh stop regionserver" since it also
hangs. Imagine a few machines in that state where you have to manually kill -9
every one of them.
bq. Or you want to add timeout on RS on startup?
A timeout to the blocking, but that we retry until either the data is available
or the region server is stopped. Like 1 or 2 seconds.
I'm currently writing the patch.

> With a situation like HBASE-3258, it's easy to have the region servers stuck
> on waiting for either the master or the cluster state znode since it has no
> timeout. You have to kill -9 them to have them shutting down. This is very
> bad for usability.
