Add the following property to the hbase-site.xml file on all HBase nodes, the Master Server, and all Region servers, to prevent deadlocks from occurring during maintenance on global indexes:

</property>
 <name>hbase.region.server.rpc.scheduler.factory.class</name>
 <value>org.apache.phoenix.hbase.index.ipc.
    PhoenixIndexRpcSchedulerFactory</value>
 <description>Factory to create the Phoenix RPC Scheduler that knows to put index
 updates into index queues</description>
</property> 

(Optional) To use local indexing, set the following two properties. These properties ensure collocation of data table and local index regions:
