Phil Yang created HBASE-16291:
---------------------------------
Summary: Explain the correct semantic of
hbase.client.retries.number in doc
Key: HBASE-16291
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-16291
Project: HBase
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Phil Yang
Assignee: Phil Yang
In hbase-default.xml (and also in HBase Book), the description of
hbase.client.retries.number is:
{quote}
Maximum retries. Used as maximum for all retryable operations such as the
getting of a cell's value, starting a row update, etc. Retry interval is a
rough function based on hbase.client.pause. At first we retry at this interval
but then with backoff, we pretty quickly reach retrying every ten seconds.
See HConstants#RETRY_BACKOFF for how the backup ramps up. Change this setting
and hbase.client.pause to suit your workload.
{quote}
However, the semantic of this conf is confusing and different in various
branches. After HBASE-14521, in master it means "the number of RETRIES", but in
all the other branches it still means "the number of TRIES".
So I think we need make the doc clearly and tell users what it is in 0.98/1.x
and what it will be from 2.0
