-----------------------------------

             Summary: Document the LeaseException thrown in scanner next
                 Key: HBASE-6856
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-6856
             Project: HBase
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: documentation
    Affects Versions: 0.92.0
            Reporter: Daniel Iancu


In some situations clients that fetch data from a RS get a LeaseException 
instead of the usual ScannerTimeoutException/UnknownScannerException.

This particular case should be documented in the HBase guide.

Some key points

* the source of exception is: 
org.apache.hadoop.hbase.regionserver.Leases.removeLease(Leases.java:230)

* it happens in the context of a slow/freezing RS#next

* it can be prevented by having  hbase.rpc.timeout > 
hbase.regionserver.lease.period

Harsh J investigated the issue and has some conclusions, see
