<title>ScannerTimeoutException</title>
<para>This is thrown if the time between RPC calls from the client to RegionServer exceeds the scan timeout.
For example, if Scan.setCaching is set to 500, then there will be an RPC call to fetch the next batch of rows every 500 <code>.next()</code> calls on the ResultScanner
For example, if <code>Scan.setCaching</code> is set to 500, then there will be an RPC call to fetch the next batch of rows every 500 <code>.next()</code> calls on the ResultScanner
because data is being transferred in blocks of 500 rows to the client. Reducing the setCaching value may be an option, but setting this value too low makes for inefficient
processing on numbers of rows.

ERROR org.apache.hadoop.hbase.regionserver.HRegionServer: ZooKeeper session expired
</programlisting>
<para>
The JVM is doing a long running garbage collecting which is pausing every threads (aka "stop the world").
Since the RegionServer's local ZooKeeper client cannot send heartbeats, the session times out.
By design, we shut down any node that isn't able to contact the ZooKeeper ensemble after getting a timeout so that it stops serving data that may already be assigned elsewhere.
</para>
<para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>Make sure you give plenty of RAM (in <filename>hbase-env.sh</filename>), the default of 1GB won't be able to sustain long running imports.</listitem>
<listitem>Make sure you don't swap, the JVM never behaves well under swapping.</listitem>
<listitem>Make sure you are not CPU starving the RegionServer thread. For example, if you are running a MapReduce job using 6 CPU-intensive tasks on a machine with 4 cores, you are probably starving the RegionServer enough to create longer garbage collection pauses.</listitem>
<listitem>Increase the ZooKeeper session timeout</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
If you wish to increase the session timeout, add the following to your <filename>hbase-site.xml</filename> to increase the timeout from the default of 60 seconds to 120 seconds.
<programlisting>
&lt;property&gt;
&lt;name&gt;zookeeper.session.timeout&lt;/name&gt;
&lt;value&gt;1200000&lt;/value&gt;
&lt;/property&gt;

&lt;name&gt;hbase.zookeeper.property.tickTime&lt;/name&gt;
&lt;value&gt;6000&lt;/value&gt;
&lt;/property&gt;
</programlisting>
</para>
<para>
Be aware that setting a higher timeout means that the regions served by a failed RegionServer will take at least
that amount of time to be transfered to another RegionServer. For a production system serving live requests, we would instead
recommend setting it lower than 1 minute and over-provision your cluster in order the lower the memory load on each machines (hence having
less garbage to collect per machine).
</para>
<para>
If this is happening during an upload which only happens once (like initially loading all your data into HBase), consider bulk loading.

Make sure the HBase root directory does not currently exist or has been initialized by a previous run of HBase. Sure fire solution is to just use Hadoop dfs to delete the HBase root and let HBase create and initialize the directory itself.
