>             Project: HBase
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: client
>    Affects Versions: 0.89.20100924, 0.90.1
>            Reporter: Sean Sechrist
>            Priority: Minor
>
> This can cause rows to be lost from a scan.
> See this thread where the issue was brought up: http://search-hadoop.com/m/xITBQ136xGJ1
> If hbase.regionserver.lease.period is higher on the client than the server we can get this series of events: 
> 1. Client is scanning along happily, and does something slow.
> 2. Scanner times out on region server
> 3. Client calls HTable.ClientScanner.next()
> 4. The region server throws an UnknownScannerException
> 5. Client catches exception and sees that it's not longer then it's hbase.regionserver.lease.period config, so it doesn't throw a ScannerTimeoutException. Instead, it treats it like a NSRE.
> Right now the workaround is to make sure the configs are consistent. 
> A possible fix would be to use whatever the region server's scanner timeout is, rather than the local one.
