createTable blocks until all regions are out of transition
----------------------------------------------------------
Key: HBASE-3744
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-3744
Project: HBase
Issue Type: Bug
Components: master
Affects Versions: 0.90.1
Reporter: Todd Lipcon
Fix For: 0.92.0
In HBASE-3305, the behavior of createTable was changed and introduced this bug:
createTable now blocks until all regions have been assigned, since it uses
BulkStartupAssigner. BulkStartupAssigner.waitUntilDone calls
assignmentManager.waitUntilNoRegionsInTransition, which waits across all
regions, not just the regions of the table that has just been created.
We saw an issue where one table had a region which was unable to be opened, so
it was stuck in RegionsInTransition permanently (every open was failing). Since
this was the case, waitUntilDone would always block indefinitely even though
the newly created table had been assigned.
