-------------------------------

             Summary: HBaseClient retries even though a DoNotRetryException was 
thrown
                 Key: HBASE-10185
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-10185
             Project: HBase
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: IPC/RPC
    Affects Versions: 0.94.12
            Reporter: Samarth


Throwing a DoNotRetryIOException inside  Writable.write(Dataoutput) method 
doesn't prevent HBase from retrying. Debugging the code locally, I figured that 
the bug lies in the way HBaseClient simply throws an IOException when it sees 
that a connection has been closed unexpectedly.  

Method:
public Writable call(Writable param, InetSocketAddress addr,
                       Class<? extends VersionedProtocol> protocol,
                       User ticket, int rpcTimeout)

Excerpt of code where the bug is present:
while (!call.done) {
        if (connection.shouldCloseConnection.get()) {
          throw new IOException("Unexpected closed connection");
        }

Throwing this IOException causes the ServerCallable.translateException(t) to be 
a no-op resulting in HBase retrying. 

>From my limited view and understanding of the code, one way I could think of 
>handling this is by looking at the closeConnection member variable of a 
>connection to determine what kind of exception should be thrown. 

Specifically, when a connection is closed, the current code does this: 

    protected synchronized void markClosed(IOException e) {
      if (shouldCloseConnection.compareAndSet(false, true)) {
        closeException = e;
        notifyAll();
      }
    }

Within HBaseClient's call method, the code could possibly be modified to:

while (!call.done) {
        if (connection.shouldCloseConnection.get() ) {
                 if(connection.closeException instanceof                   
DoNotRetryIOException) {
throw closeException;
}
          throw new IOException("Unexpected closed connection");
        }
