stack commented on HBASE-17327: ------------------------------- Is this because we 'connect' in the Connection constructor? > Allow for lazy connection / BufferedMutator creation > ---------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-17327 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-17327 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Sub-task > Reporter: Joep Rottinghuis > > The SpoolingBufferedMutatorImpl solution (HBASE-17018) solved the use-case > when an existing HBase connection stalls out due to HBase being down, or > other transient issues. > We have a remaining issue that our service will not start up if it cannot > initially connect to HBase. > This can be solved by letting the SpoolingBufferedMutator create the wrapped > BufferedMutatorImpl later, but the problem has already occurred: we already > have to have a connection in order to create a BufferedMutator to begin with. > It would be good to be able to initiate a connection and then have a way for > multiple users to wait for the connection to succeed before using it. > I'm thinking perhaps create a LazyConnection interface that extends the > Connection interface. It would have an additional waitFor(long timeout, > TimeUnit unit) method where clients can wait for the connection to be > established before they start using the connection. > Or perhaps the ConnectionFactory can have a createLazyConnection method. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
