hbase.client.scanner.timeout.period is a timeout specifically for RPCs
that come from the HBase Scanner classes (e.g. ClientScanner) while
hbase.rpc.timeout is the default timeout for any RPC. I believe that the
hbase.client.scanner.timeout.period is also used by the RegionServers to
define the lifetime of the Lease (the cause of the LeaseException you're
seeing).
Generally, when you see these kinds of exceptions while scanning data in
HBase, it is just a factor of your hardware and current performance (in
other words, how long it takes to read your data). I can't really give a
firm answer because it is dependent on your system's performance. You
should be able to approximate the performance with some
back-of-the-envelope math.
Some changes like https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-13090 and
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-13333 should help reduce the
need for you to tweak configuration properties in the future.

Hi,
I have following property value as below
<property>
<name>hbase.client.scanner.timeout.period</name>
<value>60000</value>
</property>
<property>
<name>hbase.rpc.timeout</name>
<value>60000</value>
</property>
When scanning 30 tables in hbase(each table holds 45 million records) I got
WARN client.ScannerCallable [main]: Ignore, probably already closed
org.apache.hadoop.hbase.regionserver.LeaseException:
org.apache.hadoop.hbase.regionserver.LeaseException: lease does not exist
But when I change the value to
<property>
<name>hbase.client.scanner.timeout.period</name>
<value>70000</value>
</property>
<property>
<name>hbase.rpc.timeout</name>
<value>70000</value>
</property>
It runs successfully.
Can any one tell me the reason for this failure and also is there any
factor to calculate these property values for any data.
