[jira] [Commented] (HBASE-7659) add an option for timeout, rather
than retry limit, in HCM

-------------------------------------------
How would this relate to HBASE-2937?

> Retry count limit is not the most useful user-facing measure for failing the request, especially multi-requests that currently fail if any one sub-action reaches the retry count.
> Given the current deterministic implementation of retry count limit and deterministic (+-jitter) sleep time between retries, the user is already giving us an upper time bound for an operation to expire (with default 10 retries, around a minute).
> We can make this explicit.
> That will also make making retries smarter (e.g. retrying faster on certain errors) more easy.
> In future these things can be set per request, which can be usable for people using HBase directly from their code.
