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

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

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

stack resolved HBASE-4274.
--------------------------
    Resolution: Won't Fix

Rather than ping so we can crash closer to the removal of HDFS, instead try and ride over a restart... as in HBASE-4222.

HBASE-1401 is related in that forces a roll on a period whether writes or not.

Resolving as won't do.

> 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.
