[jira] [Updated] (HBASE-4274) RS should periodically ping its HLog pipeline even if no writes are arriving

["stack (Updated) (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-4274?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

stack updated HBASE-4274:
-------------------------

    Fix Version/s:     (was: 0.92.0)
                   0.94.0

Moving out of 0.92.  This does not seem to be a critical 0.92 issue any more given Gary work.

> If you restart HDFS underneath HBase, when HBase isn't taking any write load, the region servers won't "notice" that there's any problem until the next time they take a write, at which point they will abort (because the pipeline is gone from beneath them). It would be better if they wrote some garbage to their HLog once every few seconds as a sort of keepalive, so they will aggressively abort as soon as there's an issue.
