-------------------------------------
Summary: Master has misleading log message in case of failure for
status thread
Key: ACCUMULO-2696
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-2696
Project: Accumulo
Issue Type: Bug
Components: master
Affects Versions: 1.5.0, 1.4.0, 1.6.0
Reporter: Sean Busbey
Priority: Minor
Fix For: 1.6.1, 1.7.0
the status thread is a worker within the Master that handles internal state
transitions. It contains this handler in a catch-all block to ensure it keeps
working:
{noformat}
} catch (Throwable t) {
log.error("Error balancing tablets", t);
UtilWaitThread.sleep(WAIT_BETWEEN_ERRORS);
}
{noformat}
No balancing happens in this thread, so this message is misleading about where
to look for problems. It should be updated to state that there was a problem
iwth transitioning states and should probably indicate both that it will retry
and how long it will pause before doing so.
