             Summary: We should add a RS to the dead servers list if admin calls fail more than a threshold
                 Key: HBASE-14059
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-14059
             Project: HBase
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: master, regionserver, rpc
    Affects Versions: 0.98.13
            Reporter: Esteban Gutierrez
            Assignee: Esteban Gutierrez
            Priority: Critical


I ran into this problem twice this week: calls from the HBase master to a RS can timeout since the RS call queue size has been maxed out, however since the RS is not dead (ephemeral znode still present) the master keeps attempting to perform admin tasks like trying to open or close a region but those operations eventually fail after we run out of retries or the assignment manager attempts to re-assign to other RSs. From the side effects of this I've noticed master operations to be fully blocked or RITs since we cannot close the region and open the region in a new location since RS is not dead. 

A potential solution for this is to add the RS to the list of dead RSs after certain number of calls from the master to the RS fail.

I've noticed only the problem in 0.98.x but it should be present in all versions.
