             Summary: the code that handles RAITE on master in 0.94 should not always use the same plan
                 Key: HBASE-8150
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-8150
             Project: HBase
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Sergey Shelukhin
            Priority: Minor


The code in 0.94 AM sets the region plan to point to the same server when retrying the assignment due to RAITE.
{code}
LOG.warn("Failed assignment of "
            + state.getRegion().getRegionNameAsString()
            + " to "
            + plan.getDestination()
            + ", trying to assign "
            + (regionAlreadyInTransitionException ? "to the same region server"
                + " because of RegionAlreadyInTransitionException;" : "elsewhere instead; ")
            + "retry=" + i, t);
{code}

However, there's no wait time in the loop that retries the assignment, and if region is being marked failed to open, which may take some time, master can easily exhaust retries in less than half a second (unfortunately I no longer have logs) and region will be stuck.

Do you think this is worth fixing (for example, by not using the same server here after a few retries, or by adding timed backoff in such cases)?
