[jira] [Commented] (HBASE-3380) Master failover can split logs of live servers

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-3380?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13129293#comment-13129293 ] 

Jonathan Gray commented on HBASE-3380:
--------------------------------------

So it looks like we thought we'd do a proper fix for 0.92, but do we have one?  There's some good config params that were committed as part of this JIRA into 0.90 that are now not available in 0.92.

Should this be committed to 0.92 and trunk?  I'd like to at least bring these config params over since they are pretty nice (and will make a more elegant solution to stuff like HBASE-4603).

> The reason why TestMasterFailover fails is that when it does the master failover, the new master doesn't wait long enough for all region servers to checkin so it goes ahead and split logs... which doesn't work because of the way lease timeouts work:

> I think that we should always check in ZK the number of live region servers before waiting for them to check in, this way we know how many we should expect during failover. There's also a case where we still want to timeout, since RS can die during that time, but we should wait a bit longer.
