stack commented on HBASE-4015:
------------------------------
Sorry. I bungled the commit. Ram pointed out that the latest attached here is
not the right patch to apply. I should have gotten the patch from RB. I had
to make two attempts at fixup. My third application hopefully is correct (I'm
sure Ram will let me know if it is not). Thanks for staying on top of this Ram.

>
> 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.
