[jira] [Updated] (HBASE-3478) HBase fails to recover from failed
DNS resolution of stale meta connection info

Wangjian Yang updated HBASE-3478:
---------------------------------
Affects Version/s: (was: 0.90.1)
> HBase fails to recover from failed DNS resolution of stale meta connection info
> -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HBASE-3478
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-3478
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: master
> Reporter: James Kennedy
>
> This looks like a variant of HBASE-3445:
> One of our developers ran a seed program with configuration A to generate some test data on his local machine. He then moved that data into a development environment on the same machine with a different hbase configuration B.
> On startup the HMaster waits for new regionserver to register itself:
> [25/01/11 15:37:25] 162161 [ HRegionServer] INFO ase.regionserver.HRegionServer - Telling master at 10.0.1.4:7801 that we are up

> Then ROOT region comes online at the right place: 10.0.1.4,7802

> First of all, we do not yet understand why in configuration A the RegionInfo resolved to "warren:60020" whereas in configuration B we get "10.0.1.4:7802". The port numbers make sense but not the "warren" hostname. It's probably specific to Warren's mac environment somehow because no other developer gets this problem when doing the same thing. "warren" isn't in his hosts file so that remains a mystery.
> But irrespective of that, since the ports differ we expect the stale meta connection data to cause connection failure anyway. Perhaps in the form of a SocketTimeoutException as in hbase-3445.
> But shouldn't the HMaster handle that by catching the exception and letting verifyMetaRegionLocation() fail so that meta regions get reassigned to the new region server?
> Probably the safeguards in CatalogTracker.getCachedConnection() should move up to getMetaServerConnection() so as to encompass MetaReader.readMetaLocation() also. Essentially if getMetaServerConnection() encounters ANY exception connection to meta RegionServer it should probably just return null to force meta region reassignment.
