rajeshbabu commented on HBASE-6060:
-----------------------------------
@Stack
bq. then maybe expose a clear and remove only rather than give out the Map
Done
NO_SERVERS_TO_ASSIGN has been removed. But we have one case saying
REGION_PLAN_ALREADY_INUSE to differnetiate null and the special case. It may
be better to have if in future we try to solve double assignment scenarios
w.r.t so SSH and AM. Pls provide your comments. Any other better way you feel?
If you are ok, I can rebase the patches for 0.92 and 0.94.

> we have seen a pattern in tests, that the regions are stuck in OPENING state
> for a very long time when the region server who is opening the region fails.
> My understanding of the process:
>
> - master calls rs to open the region. If rs is offline, a new plan is
> generated (a new rs is chosen). RegionState is set to PENDING_OPEN (only in
> master memory, zk still shows OFFLINE). See HRegionServer.openRegion(),
> HMaster.assign()
> - RegionServer, starts opening a region, changes the state in znode. But
> that znode is not ephemeral. (see ZkAssign)
> - Rs transitions zk node from OFFLINE to OPENING. See
> OpenRegionHandler.process()
> - rs then opens the region, and changes znode from OPENING to OPENED
> - when rs is killed between OPENING and OPENED states, then zk shows OPENING
> state, and the master just waits for rs to change the region state, but since
> rs is down, that wont happen.
> - There is a AssignmentManager.TimeoutMonitor, which does exactly guard
> against these kind of conditions. It periodically checks (every 10 sec by
> default) the regions in transition to see whether they timedout
> (hbase.master.assignment.timeoutmonitor.timeout). Default timeout is 30 min,
> which explains what you and I are seeing.
> - ServerShutdownHandler in Master does not reassign regions in OPENING
> state, although it handles other states.
> Lowering that threshold from the configuration is one option, but still I
> think we can do better.
> Will investigate more.
