John Vines created ACCUMULO-1268:
------------------------------------
Summary: getConnector should (have a flag to?) eventually timeout
Key: ACCUMULO-1268
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-1268
Project: Accumulo
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: client
Affects Versions: 1.4.3
Reporter: John Vines
Assignee: Billie Rinaldi
Fix For: 1.5.0
Currently if Accumulo is down, getConnector will sit indefinitely. This is
designed to be tolerant in several processes which wait for Accumulo to come up
into a stable state.
However, for writing client applications, it's horrendous. It provides no
ability for the developer to provide feedback to the client. There should be
some method to allow ServerClient.executeRaw() to eventually kick out of the
infinite loop it currently has. If the developer wants the code to continue
infinitely, they can either disregard the flag or wrap the getConnector() code
in a loop themselves.
