-------------------------------
What do the retries see as exception [~jerryhe]?
> Expire of one region server carrying meta can bring down the master

> Key: HBASE-13845
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-13845
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: master
> Affects Versions: 1.1.0
> Reporter: Jerry He
>
> There seems to be a code bug that can cause expiration of one region server
> carrying meta to bring down the master under certain case.
> Here is the sequence of event.
> a) The master detects the expiration of a region server on ZK, and starts to
> expire the region server.
> b) Since the failed region server carries meta, the shutdown handler will
> call verifyAndAssignMetaWithRetries() during processing the expired rs.
> c) In verifyAndAssignMeta(), there is a logic to verifyMetaRegionLocation
> {code}
> (!server.getMetaTableLocator().verifyMetaRegionLocation(server.getConnection(),
> this.server.getZooKeeper(), timeout)) {
> this.services.getAssignmentManager().assignMeta
> (HRegionInfo.FIRST_META_REGIONINFO);
> } else if
> (serverName.equals(server.getMetaTableLocator().getMetaRegionLocation(
> this.server.getZooKeeper()))) {
> throw new IOException("hbase:meta is onlined on the dead server "
> + serverName);
> {code}
> If we see the meta region is still alive on the expired rs, we throw an
> exception.
> We do some retries (default 10x1000ms) for verifyAndAssignMeta.
> If we still get the exception after retries, we abort the master.
> {code}

> has a slow death, and is still able to respond to master's meta verification
> in the meantime
