---------------------------------
Summary: Java client doesn't pick a random replica when no replica
is local
Key: KUDU-2348
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KUDU-2348
Project: Kudu
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: client, java
Affects Versions: 1.7.0
Reporter: Todd Lipcon
In RemoteTablet we have this comment:
{code}
* Get the information on the closest server. If none is closer than the
others,
* return the information on a randomly picked server.
{code}
However it appears that the "random" replica is deterministic - it's always the
last replica in hashmap iteration order, which is likely to be the same order
across all clients in the cluster. That would cause load to be concentrated on
one replica rather than spread even if the clients are meaning to spread the
load.
