[HBASE-8276] Backport hbase-6738 to 0.94 "Too aggressive task resubmission from the distributed log manager"

• Type: Bug
• Status: Closed
• Priority: Major
• Resolution: Fixed
• Fix Version/s: 0.94.7
• Hadoop Flags: Reviewed

Release Note

The Split Log Manager now takes into account the state of the region server doing the split. If this region server is marked as dead (i.e. its ZooKeeper connection expires), its task is immediately resubmitted. If the region server is still in the "alive" state, then we wait for 5 minutes before resubmitting, instead of 25 seconds previously. This delay can be changed with the parameter "hbase.splitlog.manager.timeout" (milliseconds, new default: 300000).

Description

In recent tests, we found situations that when some data nodes are down and file operations are slow depending on underlying hdfs timeout(normally 30 secs and socket connection timeout maybe around 1 min). While split log task heart beat time out is only 25 secs, a split log task will be preempted by SplitLogManager and assign to someone else after the 25 secs. On a small cluster, you'll see the same task is keeping bounced back & force for a while. I pasted a snippet of related logs below. You can search "preempted from" to see a task is preempted.

The exact same issue is fixed by hbase-6738 in trunk so here comes the backport.
