nkeywal commented on HBASE-6290:
--------------------------------
@stack We should try to connect the RS, someone we trust told us it was dead.
Or if we try it should be with a minimum timeout (if not, out socket timeout
will be longer than the zookeeper timeout). So the shell command should just
clean the znode associated to an IP.
It could also be in ZK, or very strongly linked to ZK if we can: if the API
allows it, get the session associated to this IP and expire them. We know it's
easy to expire a session :-).
> Add a function a mark a server as dead and start the recovery the process

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-6290
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: monitoring
> Affects Versions: 0.96.0
> Reporter: nkeywal
> Assignee: nkeywal
> Priority: Minor
>
> ZooKeeper is used a a monitoring tool: we use znode and we start the recovery
> process when a znode is deleted by ZK because it got a timeout. This timeout
> is defaulted to 90 seconds, and often set to 30s
> However, some HW issues could be detected by specialized hw monitoring tools
> before the ZK timeout. For this reason, it makes sense to offer a very simple
> function to mark a RS as dead. This should not take in
> It could be a hbase shell function such as
> considerAsDead ipAddress|serverName
> This would delete all the znodes of the server running on this box, starting
> the recovery process.
> Such a function would be easily callable (at callers risk) by any fault
> detection tool... We could have issues to identify the right master & region
> servers around ipv4 vs ipv6 vs and multi networked boxes however.
