[jira] [Created] (HBASE-10516) Refactor code where Threads.sleep is called within a while/for loop

Feng Honghua created HBASE-10516:
------------------------------------

             Summary: Refactor code where Threads.sleep is called within a while/for loop
                 Key: HBASE-10516
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-10516
             Project: HBase
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Client, master, regionserver
            Reporter: Feng Honghua
            Assignee: Feng Honghua


Threads.sleep implementation:
{code}
 public static void sleep(long millis) {
    try {
      Thread.sleep(millis);
    } catch (InterruptedException e) {
      e.printStackTrace();
      Thread.currentThread().interrupt();
    }
  }
{code}
>From above implementation, the current thread's interrupt status is restored/reset when InterruptedException is caught and handled. If this method is called within a while/for loop, if a first InterruptedException is thrown during sleep, it will make the Threads.sleep in next loop immediately throw InterruptedException without expected sleep. This behavior breaks the intention for independent sleep in each loop, and even worse can incur infinite loop for while(true)-like loop where the exit condition check occurs after sleep statement within the while loop.

I mentioned above in HBASE-10497 and this jira is created to handle it separately per [~nkeywal]'s suggestion
