Anoop Sam John commented on HBASE-15436:
----------------------------------------
When close() is called on BufferedMutator what is the expectation? All the
prior writes (async) should get synced with HBase RS?
Ya when data is pumped in in async way, it is expected that there may be data
loss. If client went down abruptly. So we can say if close is called, we can
try flush data and gracefully down. If flush is not happening normally we may
need to close it with out flush of remaining mutations (?) How abt the
decision making? cc [~tedyu]
> BufferedMutatorImpl.flush() appears to get stuck

> Key: HBASE-15436
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-15436
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Client
> Affects Versions: 1.0.2
> Reporter: Sangjin Lee
> Attachments: hbaseException.log, threaddump.log
>
>
> We noticed an instance where the thread that was executing a flush
> ({{BufferedMutatorImpl.flush()}}) got stuck when the (local one-node) cluster
> shut down and was unable to get out of that stuck state.
> The setup is a single node HBase cluster, and apparently the cluster went
> away when the client was executing flush. The flush eventually logged a
> failure after 30+ minutes of retrying. That is understandable.
> What is unexpected is that thread is stuck in this state (i.e. in the
> {{flush()}} call). I would have expected the {{flush()}} call to return after
> the complete failure.
