Jonathan Hsieh commented on HBASE-4740:
---------------------------------------
@Stack
Yeah, 0 is actually the original behavior in the pre-HBASE-4552 version it I
think would just eat exceptions and bail out without completing. It is more
complicated because of bulk atomicity.
Will update boolean if it works -- there is some template checking in another
place so assumed it needed boxed type.
The difference is that the version uses a different LoadIncrementalHandlers
instance. I'll refactor to exclude that portion and require it in the test.
I tried the previous version with a small data set on psuedo-dist cluster and
live cluster. For this particular patch I tried this one by looping the
relevant unit tests 100 times and seeing that they passed all the time. I
haven't tested this exact version on real cluster.

> Running TestHFileOutputFormat more frequently seems to show that it has
> become flaky. It is difficult to tell if this is because of a unrecoverable
> failure or a recoverable failure. To make this visiable from test and for
> users, we need to make a change to bulkload call's interface on
> HRegionServer. The change should make successful rpcs return true,
> recoverable failures return false, and unrecoverable failure throw an
> IOException. This is an RPC change, so it would be really good to get this
> api right before the final 0.92 goes out.
