Jimmy Xiang commented on HBASE-8150:
------------------------------------
If the region is transitioning to OPEN state, I think it is ok to return
OPENED. If it is transitioning to CLOSE state, we should return RAITE.
bq. Wouldn't region be stuck in this case if master assumes server will finish
the assignment?
If the region is transitioning to failed_open, the master will retry after get
the ZK event.
> the code that handles RAITE on master in 0.94 should not always use the same
> plan

> Key: HBASE-8150
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-8150
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Sergey Shelukhin
> Priority: Minor
>
> The code in 0.94 AM sets the region plan to point to the same server when
> retrying the assignment due to RAITE.
> {code}
> LOG.warn("Failed assignment of "
> + state.getRegion().getRegionNameAsString()
> + " to "
> + plan.getDestination()
> + ", trying to assign "
> + (regionAlreadyInTransitionException ? "to the same region
> server"
> + " because of RegionAlreadyInTransitionException;" :
> "elsewhere instead; ")
> + "retry=" + i, t);
> {code}
> However, there's no wait time in the loop that retries the assignment, and if
> region is being marked failed to open, which may take some time, master can
> easily exhaust retries in less than half a second, going to the same server
> every time and getting the same exception (unfortunately I no longer have
> logs); then the region will be stuck.
> Do you think this is worth fixing (for example, by not using the same server
> here after a few retries, or by adding timed backoff in such cases)?
