Andrew Purtell resolved HBASE-1852.
-----------------------------------
Resolution: Later
I'm not sure if the current code will behave the same way as code vintage of
this issue, but suspect several issues with multi-region META. In any case,
should we decide to support multi-region META that work and related issues
should be captured by a fresh issue. Resolving this as Later
> HConnectionManager.testTableOnlineState will get into infinite loop if more
> than one .META. region

> Key: HBASE-1852
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-1852
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Client
> Affects Versions: 0.20.0
> Environment: OSX/Linux
> Reporter: Cosmin Lehene
> Attachments: 0001-Fixed-.META.-split-bug-v2.patch,
> 0001-Fixed-.META.-split-bug.patch, HBASE-1852-unittest1.patch,
> HBaseMetaSplitIssues.java
>
> Original Estimate: 24h
> Remaining Estimate: 24h
>
> Create 3 tables (preferably on a clean cluster to avoid other potential
> issues)
> Split .META.
> From the master web inteface try to click on the first table - the page will
> not load and refreshing the main page will show lots of requests.
> HBaseAdmin.testTableOnlineState will get into an infinite loop if .META. has
> more than one region. This method should probably use a regular scanner and
> an iterator.
> I guess this issue would also happen with a single .META. region if rrs =
> getRegionServerWithRetries(s) would get an UnknownScannerException (from a
> scanner lease expiration on the region server), but I haven't double checked
> this.
> I attached a java method that you can use as a reference to reproduce the
> behavior. However, since it calls split() on .META. and that is async, you
> might have to run it twice and check that .META. actually splitted before
> getting into the infinite loop.
