[jira] [Updated] (HBASE-5359) Alter in the shell can be too quick and return before the table is altered

Nicolas Spiegelberg updated HBASE-5359:
---------------------------------------

    Attachment: HBASE-5359.patch

This is a initial patch that compiles/works/fixes HBASE-5335, but is not extensively tested.  Note that this can also be extended to support addColumn and other TableEventHandlers.  We should probably also employ a similar technique for enableTable/disableTable.  Feel free to run with this or ask questions.  It's pretty simple: just add a conditional variable to wait for ZK persist (or Exception).

> This seems to be a recent change in behavior but I'm still not sure where it's coming from.
> The shell is able to call HMaster.getAlterStatus before the TableEventHandler is able call AM.setRegionsToReopen so that the returned status shows no pending regions. It means that the alter seems "instantaneous" although it's far from completed.
