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

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-10516?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Feng Honghua updated HBASE-10516:
---------------------------------

    Attachment: HBASE-10516-trunk_v1.patch

Two notes:
# The fix of Threads.sleep in JVMClusterUtil.java has been included in HBASE-10523, so no fix here
# Though Threads.sleep is not within a loop its immediate containing method in HRegionFileSystem.java, that method does be called within do-while loops in many other methods, so also need to be fixed and the fix is not straightforward

> 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
