[CANCELLED] [VOTE] The 1st HBase 0.98.13 release candidate (RC0) is available, vote closing 6/3/2015

[Andrew Purtell <an...@gmail.com>]

It's never too late Enis, well, until a vote passes anyway. :-) Thanks
for looking in to the ramifications of this change.

An practically-infinite timeout is a bug by definition. I think we
should have something like this change in 0.98.13 and the 1.x-es. Your
point about the new 60 second default being too aggressive /
surprising makes sense. Let's reapply to 0.98 and 1.x with a larger
default. A code change is needed, so I will cancel this RC vote.

A reasonable new default could be to take the zookeeper timeout and
multiply it by 2. Or, we could go with another fixed, but larger
value, like 5 or 10 minutes. What bothers me is INT_MAX, let's not
have that.

Regardless I think it would be good if we also file an issue to update
the book with discussion on zookeeper and RPC timeouts and their
relationship.
