stack commented on HBASE-19976: ------------------------------- [~Apache9] RecoverMetaProcedure is relatively new. It is neither a TableProcedure nor a ServerProcedure (oversight?). Could this be the problem? If it were a ServerProcedure, it would be run ahead of everyone? > Dead lock if the worker threads in procedure executor are exhausted > ------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-19976 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-19976 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Duo Zhang > Assignee: stack > Priority: Critical > > See the comments in HBASE-19554. If all the worker threads are stuck in > AssignProcdure since meta region is offline, then the RecoverMetaProcedure > can not be executed and cause dead lock. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
