Elliott Clark commented on HBASE-13128:
---------------------------------------
This is all about removing the file. The call to HDFS can fail and throw an
error. That will leave the lock file since there's no retires.
> Make HBCK's lock file retry creation and deletion
> -------------------------------------------------

> Key: HBASE-13128
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-13128
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: hbck
> Reporter: Victoria
> Priority: Minor
>
> When hbck runs it creates a lock file to ensure that no two hbck instances
> are running. We've been seeing creating and removing that file fail sometimes.
> This improvement should make the creation, closing of the file, and the
> deletion retry multiple times. This should allow our alerting which uses this
> command to be more reliable and have fewer false positives.
