Sergey Shelukhin updated HBASE-7659:
------------------------------------
Assignee: (was: Sergey Shelukhin)
> add an option for timeout, rather than retry limit, in HCM
> ----------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HBASE-7659
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-7659
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Client
> Reporter: Sergey Shelukhin
>
> Retry count limit is not the most useful user-facing measure for failing the
> request, especially multi-requests that currently fail if any one sub-action
> reaches the retry count.
> Given the current deterministic implementation of retry count limit and
> deterministic (+-jitter) sleep time between retries, the user is already
> giving us an upper time bound for an operation to expire (with default 10
> retries, around a minute).
> We can make this explicit.
> That will also make making retries smarter (e.g. retrying faster on certain
> errors) more easy.
> In future these things can be set per request, which can be usable for people
> using HBase directly from their code.
