Ted Yu commented on HBASE-4015:
-------------------------------
@Ramkrishna:
If you have access to a real cluster, can you do the following:
1. create a table and load it with data so that it has over 400 regions
2. continue writing/reading the table and trigger region splits
3. issue balancer command
You can instrument TimeoutMonitor to record stats for occurrences of timeouts
At the end of test, use hbck to check consistency
Thanks

> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Affects Versions: 0.90.3
> Reporter: Jean-Daniel Cryans
> Assignee: ramkrishna.s.vasudevan

>
> The current implementation of the TimeoutMonitor acts like a race condition
> generator, mostly making things worse rather than better. It does it's own
> thing for a while without caring for what's happening in the rest of the
> master.
> The first thing that needs to happen is that the regions should not be
> processed in one big batch, because that sometimes can take minutes to
> process (meanwhile a region that timed out opening might have opened, then
> what happens is it will be reassigned by the TimeoutMonitor generating the
> never ending PENDING_OPEN situation).
> Those operations should also be done more atomically, although I'm not sure
> how to do it in a scalable way in this case.
