[jira] [Updated] (HBASE-29630) RetryingCallerInterceptor should be wired up for batch calls

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-29630?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Ray Mattingly updated HBASE-29630:
----------------------------------
    Description: 
h3. Summary

{{RetryingCallerInterceptor}} should be invoked for *batch operations* ({{{}callWithoutRetries(...){}}}) in addition to single operations ({{{}callWithRetries(...){}}}). This will ensure consistent behavior for failure handling, fast-fail logic, and custom metrics across all client operations.
h3. Problem
 * *Single operations* ({{{}HTable.get(Get){}}}, etc.) run through {{{}RpcRetryingCaller.callWithRetries(){}}}, which wires in interceptor hooks ({{{}intercept(){}}}, {{{}handleFailure(){}}}, {{{}updateFailureInfo(){}}}).

 * *Batch operations* ({{{}HTable.batch(){}}}, {{{}HTable.get(List<Get>){}}}) go through {{{}RpcRetryingCaller.callWithoutRetries(){}}}, which currently bypasses interceptor hooks.

 * As a result:

 * 
 ** Custom interceptors (e.g., handling {{{}RpcThrottlingException{}}}) do not run for batch calls.

 * 
 ** Metrics and fast-fail logic only apply to single operations, not batch operations.

 * 
 ** Behavior is inconsistent between single and batch APIs.

h3. Proposed Change

Update {{RpcRetryingCallerImpl.callWithoutRetries(...)}} to use the same interceptor lifecycle as {{{}callWithRetries(...){}}}:
 # Create an interceptor context at call start.
 # Call {{interceptor.intercept()}} before executing the RPC.
 # On exception:
 ## Translate the throwable.
 ## Pass the translated exception into {{{}interceptor.handleFailure(){}}}.
 ## Preserve {{PreemptiveFastFailException}} behavior.
 # Call {{interceptor.updateFailureInfo()}} in the {{finally}} block when failures occur.
 # Add an {{AttemptType.NO_RETRY}} marker to the context for clarity in logs/metrics.
 # Optionally enrich the context when {{RetriesExhaustedWithDetailsException}} (REWDE) is thrown, so interceptors can see per-item failures.

h3. Benefits
 * *Consistency:* Single and batch operations follow the same interceptor pattern.

 * *Extensibility:* Interceptors can handle throttling and emit metrics for batch calls without custom forks.

 * *Maintainability:* Small, contained change in {{{}RpcRetryingCallerImpl{}}}; no invasive changes to {{{}AsyncProcess{}}}.

 * *Compatibility:* No breaking API changes. No-op interceptors behave as before.

 * *Community value:* Opens the door to richer failure handling for all client operations.

h3. Example Use Case

At my day job we use interceptors to detect {{RpcThrottlingException}} and fail fast while reporting metrics. This works for single gets/puts but is currently bypassed in batch calls, limiting visibility and resilience. With this change, batch requests can also fast-fail and report throttling metrics.
h3. Risks & Mitigation
 * *Performance regression:* Interceptor calls are lightweight; validate with before/after microbenchmarks.

 * *Behavior change for existing interceptors:* Only makes interceptors {_}more consistent{_}. Default no-op interceptor ensures compatibility.

 * *Naming confusion (“RetryingCaller” on no-retry path):* Clarify with Javadoc: interceptors apply to both retrying and no-retry paths.
