-----------------------------------
Since the current stable release is 1.x we want to add this change to the
document. [~apurtell] thoughts?
> 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
> Affects Versions: 1.1.5, 1.2.2, 0.98.20, 2.0.0
> Reporter: Phil Yang
> Assignee: Phil Yang
> Priority: Major
> Attachments: HBASE-16291-v1.patch

> 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 clear and tell users what it is in 0.98/1.x
> and what it will be from 2.0
