--------------------------------------
Summary: Flooding the cluster with administrative actions leads to
collapse
Key: HBASE-10312
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-10312
Project: HBase
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Andrew Purtell
Steps to reproduce:
1. Start a cluster.
2. Start an ingest process.
3. In the HBase shell, do this:
{noformat}
while true ; do
flush 'table'
end
{noformat}
We should reject abuse via administrative requests like this.
What happens on the cluster is the requests back up, leading to lots of these:
{noformat}
2014-01-10 18:55:55,293 WARN [Priority.RpcServer.handler=2,port=8120]
monitoring.TaskMonitor: Too many actions in action monitor! Purging some.
{noformat}
At this point we could lower a gate on further requests for actions until the
backlog clears.
Continuing, all of the regionservers will eventually die with a
StackOverflowError of unknown origin because, stack overflow:
{noformat}
2014-01-10 19:02:02,783 ERROR [Priority.RpcServer.handler=3,port=8120]
ipc.RpcServer: Unexpected throwable object java.lang.StackOverflowError
