Lars Hofhansl commented on HBASE-13333:
---------------------------------------
Any comments on the patch? Worth doing? I think on the client we want the
caller responsible for handling this (rather than a background thread that
pings the server - which we might forget about, or that might continue to ping
when the caller forgets to close the scanner, etc).
> Renew Scanner Lease without advancing the RegionScanner

> We have a usecase (for Phoenix) where we want to let the server know that the
> client is still around. Like a client-side heartbeat.
> Doing a full heartbeat is complicated, but we could add the ability to make
> scanner call with caching set to 0. The server already does the right thing
> (it renews the lease, but does not advance the scanner).
> It looks like the client (ScannerCallable) also does the right thing. We
> cannot break ResultScanner before HBase 2.0, but we can add a renewLease()
> method to AbstractClientScaner. Phoenix (or any other caller) can then cast
> to ClientScanner and call that method to ensure we renew the lease on the
> server.
> It would be a simple and fully backwards compatible change. [~giacomotaylor]
