M. C. Srivas commented on HBASE-4087:
-------------------------------------
@stack: yes, its ugly but necessary. If the multi-master failover needs to
work, the hbase client must behave in a "nfs hard-mount" manner, ie, keep
trying till a master comes online. Perhaps the retry can be buried under the
API? The retry should fail if ZK itself is not reachable.
> HConnectionManager should perform validation of connection it hands out

> Through HBASE-3777, HConnectionManager reuses the connection to HBase servers.
> One challenge, discovered in troubleshooting HBASE-4052, is how we invalidate
> connection(s) to server which gets restarted.
> There're at least two ways.
> 1. HConnectionManager utilizes background thread(s) to periodically perform
> validation of connections in HBASE_INSTANCES and remove stale connection(s).
> 2. Allow HBaseClient (including HBaseAdmin) to provide feedback to
> HConnectionManager.
> The solution can be a combination of both of the above.
