> While testing client timeouts when the HBase is not available we found that even with aggressive settings, it takes the client 10 minutes or more to finally receive an exception.
> Part of this is due to nested nested retry loops in locateRegion.
> locateRegion will first try to locate the table in meta (which is retried), then it will try to locate the meta table is root (which is also retried).
> So for each retry of the meta lookup we retry the root lookup as well.
> I have have that avoids locateRegion retrying if it is called from code that already has a retry loop.
