stack commented on HBASE-5973:
------------------------------
@Todd You answered my question (that and looking at code). I see how this
works now and how it can be a kill-switch particularly for the case where heavy
filtering has us passing on lots of rows.
+1 on the patch.
> Add ability for potentially long-running IPC calls to abort if client
> disconnects

> We recently had a cluster issue where a user was submitting scanners with a
> very restrictive filter, and then calling next() with a high scanner caching
> value. The clients would generally time out the next() call and disconnect,
> but the IPC kept running looking to fill the requested number of rows. Since
> this was in the context of MR, the tasks making the calls would retry, and
> the retries wuld be more likely to time out due to contention with the
> previous still-running scanner next() call. Eventually, the system spiraled
> out of control.
> We should add a hook to the IPC system so that RPC calls can check if the
> client has already disconnected. In such a case, the next() call could abort
> processing, given any further work is wasted. I imagine coprocessor
> endpoints, etc, could make good use of this as well.
