Here is unit test that seems to show us retrying socketimeouts.
> Properly treating SocketTimeoutException

> SocketTimeoutException is currently treated like any IOE inside of
> HCM.getRegionServerWithRetries and I think this is a problem. This method
> should only do retries in cases where we are pretty sure the operation will
> complete, but with STE we already waited for (by default) 60 seconds and
> nothing happened.
> I found this while debugging Douglas Campbell's problem on the mailing list
> where it seemed like he was using the same scanner from multiple threads, but
> actually it was just the same client doing retries while the first run didn't
> even finish yet (that's another problem). You could see the first scanner,
> then up to two other handlers waiting for it to finish in order to run
> (because of the synchronization on RegionScanner).
> So what should we do? We could treat STE as a DoNotRetryException and let the
> client deal with it, or we could retry only once.
> There's also the option of having a different behavior for get/put/icv/scan,
> the issue with operations that modify a cell is that you don't know if the
> operation completed or not (same when a RS dies hard after completing let's
> say a Put but just before returning to the client).
