Setting zookeeper timeout to higher value

[Vimal Jain]

Hi,
I am running Hbase in pseudo distributed mode on top HDFS.
Recently , i was facing problems related to long GC pauses.
When i read in official documentation , its suggested to increase zookeeper
timeout.

I am planning to make it 10 minutes .I understand the risk of increasing
timeout means it takes a while for master to assign new regionserver in
case of a RS failure.
But as i am running Pseudo distributed mode , there is only one RS and even
if it goes down my entire system is down , so increasing timeout does not
seems to be an issue in my case.But still , i would like expert's advice on
this.


Here is my hbase-site.xml :-

<configuration>
*        <property>
                <name>zookeeper.session.timeout</name>
                <value>600000</value>
         </property>
        <property>
                <name>hbase.zookeeper.property.tickTime</name>
                <value>30000</value>
        </property>*
        <property>
                <name>hbase.rootdir</name>
                <value>hdfs://192.168.20.30:9000/hbase</value>
        </property>
        <property>
                <name>hbase.cluster.distributed</name>
                <value>true</value>
         </property>
         <property>
              <name>hbase.zookeeper.quorum</name>
              <value>192.168.20.30</value>
        </property>
        <property>
              <name>dfs.replication</name>
              <value>1</value>
        </property>
         <property>
                 <name>hbase.zookeeper.property.clientPort</name>
                 <value>2181</value>
        </property>
        <property>
                 <name>hbase.zookeeper.property.dataDir</name>
                 <value>/home/hadoop/HbaseData/zookeeper</value>
        </property>
</configuration>
