             Summary: Table does not come out of 'enabling' state
                 Key: HBASE-7161
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-7161
             Project: HBase
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 0.94.2
            Reporter: Devaraj Das


I was running a test, and the test failed because a table didn't get 'enabled' in the timeframe the test expected. When I checked the state of the table on ZK, it showed the state as 'enabling'. 

When I dug up the master logs, found that the BulkAssigner.bulkAssign returned false (the first line in the logs below), and the table never became 'enabled'. There was one region which could not be opened in the time bulkAssign ran (and that got 'opened' after the bulkAssign method returned). Also the table could not be enabled later on (from the hbase shell, for example), since the state of the table on ZK was 'enabling' (as opposed to 'disabled' and the table-state checks would fail).

The client (that invoked HBA.enableTable) gave up eventually (enableTable invokes isTableEnabled in a loop and in this case it was always returning false).

The handling on the master side for regions that take longer to get 'opened' can be improved.
