Lars Hofhansl commented on HBASE-7578:
--------------------------------------
It turns out that method called here (waitForMetaServerConnectionDefault) is
only called from tests.
So I simply removed it. In turn we no longer need to keep the defaultTimeout in
CatalogTracker... Also removed. All callers that call
waitForMetaServerConnection(long) pass a non-zero value, so per the previous
comments we'll recheck at least every 50ms.
On top of that, some of the callers set the timeout to Long.MAX_VALUE, which in
{{ystem.currentTimeMillis() + timeout}} would cause an overflow.
So this was a test only problem:
# the test created a CatalogTracker with default timeout set to 0
# it called waitForMetaServerConnectionDefault, which potentially wait forever
if the time is 0
Patch upcoming soon. Testing it now.
