Jonathan Hsieh commented on HBASE-7831:
---------------------------------------
Can you talk about how this would be used by a user or dev? (or is this in the
software itself -- which the Abortable stuff should take care of).
Is the idea to remotely euthanize (via shell possibly) an unhappy region
server? Something similar may be nice for masters as well (HA hdfs has a way
to force an a master transition -- this could be similar or our Masters or
RS's).

> There are times in the life of many a region server when it realizes that it
> cannot go on any longer in the hostile, inhospitable environment. Or it might
> realize that there's something inherently wrong with it on the inside
> (probably because a developer screwed up). The only way out is killing itself.
> There's code in some places currently that does Runtime halt in such cases,
> and there may be code that calls HRegionServer method to do this.
> I think we need some easy-to-access (lightweight interface, or static) way to
> trigger reliable (no catching exceptions on the upper levels, etc.) RS death
> in such cases.
