Snapshots are a two-phase commit like operation, with the master coordinating the region servers. http://blog.cloudera.com/blog/2013/06/introduction-to-apache-hbase-snapshots-part-2-deeper-dive/
so, you have 2 timeout - on master side you have to set "hbase.snapshot.master.timeoutMillis". (The master is waiting response from every RS involved in the snapshot operation) - on region server side you have to set "hbase.snapshot.region.timeout". (The region server is the one taking the snapshot of the regions that is hosting) the properties must be set in the hbase-site.xml of Master/RSs Matteo On Tue, Apr 8, 2014 at 12:23 AM, Bharath Vissapragada <[email protected] > wrote: > HMaster hbase-site.xml! > > > On Tue, Apr 8, 2014 at 12:17 PM, yanivG <[email protected]> wrote: > > > I am currently trying to create another hbase cluster by exporting > > snapshots > > from our main storage. > > While it worked well for the smaller tables, it failed on timeouts on > > larger > > tables while trying to CREATE the snapshots. > > I read a bit about it and found out that increasing > > "hbase.snapshot.master.timeoutMillis" and "hbase.snapshot.region.timeout" > > may help. > > Where should I set those configurations? > > > > > > > > -- > > View this message in context: > > > http://apache-hbase.679495.n3.nabble.com/Snapshots-timeouts-tp4057961.html > > Sent from the HBase User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. > > > > > > -- > Bharath Vissapragada > <http://www.cloudera.com> >
