[jira] [Commented] (HBASE-7546) Obtain a table read lock on region split operations

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

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-7546?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13591160#comment-13591160 ] 

Ted Yu commented on HBASE-7546:
-------------------------------

Table split modifies table metadata. I tend to think that a write lock is more appropriate in this scenario.

Table snapshot, on the other hand, doesn't change table metadata. A read lock would fit.

This way, we achieve mutual exclusion between the two operations.

> As discussed in the parent issue HBASE-7305, we should be coordinating between splits and table operations to ensure that they don't happen at the same time. In this issue we will acquire shared read locks for region splits.
