[jira] [Updated] (HBASE-3755) Catch zk's ConnectionLossException
and augment error message with more help
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-3755?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
Jean-Daniel Cryans updated HBASE-3755:
--------------------------------------
Attachment: HBASE-3755.patch
So I did a bunch of testing on my laptop to see how we failed when too many connections. It's ugly. Really ugly. In this patch I improve three things while not breaking any behavior:
- Add a more meaningful message for connection loss.
- Close the ZK handle on that error, what I saw is that since we didn't close it the client connection managers were staying alive trying to shutdown (could this be a ZK bug?) such that it was spewing errors like crazy and it never stops.
- We were passing the exception to ZooKeeperConnectionException as if it was the message, I corrected that by changing the constructor to require a message plus the original exception. Then in HCM instead of creating yet another ZooKeeperConnectionException, we throw the one that we get since we have it already.

> 0.90 has a different behavior regarding ZK connections, it tends to create too many of them and it's not obvious to users what they should do to fix. I think I've helped at least 5 different users this week with this error.
> By catching ConnectionLossException and augmenting its message, we could say something like "it's possible that the ZooKeeper server has too many connections from this IP, see doc at blah" since the ZK server isn't nice enough to let us know what's going on.
