             Summary: Configure a max global timeout for HMaster to wait for RS to check in
                 Key: HBASE-24911
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-24911
             Project: HBase
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Sandeep Guggilam
            Assignee: Sandeep Guggilam


As part of the initialization process for active master, it waits for region servers to check in before completing the initialization. Currently it runs into a loop where it waits in the loop for ever when there are no region servers that are reported to it ([https://github.com/apache/hbase/blob/branch-1/hbase-server/src/main/java/org/apache/hadoop/hbase/master/ServerManager.java#L1126)]

 

We should probably have a global max timeout after which the master should give up and abort itself letting other masters to take over as active master . This is especially useful in the cases where the incoming connections to the master are not accepted because of network issue
