------------------------------------
Summary: A "stuck" master should not idle as active without taking
action
Key: HBASE-24292
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-24292
Project: HBase
Issue Type: Bug
Components: master, Region Assignment
Affects Versions: 2.3.0
Reporter: Nick Dimiduk
The master schedules a SCP for the region server hosting meta. However, due to
a misconfiguration, the cluster cannot make progress. After fixing the
configuration issue and restarting, the cluster still cannot make progress.
After the configured period (15 minuets), the master enters a "holding pattern"
where it retains Active master status, but isn't taking any action.
This "brown-out" state is toxic. It should either keep trying to make progress,
or it should abort. Staying up and not doing anything is the wrong thing to do.
