[jira] Commented: (HBASE-2441) ZK failures early in RS startup sequence cause infinite busy loop

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-2441?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12856719#action_12856719 ] 

Todd Lipcon commented on HBASE-2441:
------------------------------------

I think I caused this by starting a RS while the master was down, and then killing ZK. First got the NPE because metrics wasn't initialized yet when abort() came:
{code}
2010-04-13 17:40:28,495 ERROR org.apache.zookeeper.ClientCnxn: Error while calling watcher

        at org.apache.zookeeper.ClientCnxn$EventThread.run(ClientCnxn.java:488)
{code}
and then looped forever with:

> If the RS loses its ZK session before it reports for duty, the abort() call will trigger an NPE, and then the stop boolean doesn't get toggled. The RS will then loop forever trying to register itself in the expired ZK session, and fill up the logs.
