Plus I imagine this will be a widely used feature for read-only tables or bulk loaded tables. We are not proposing of reworking strong consistency semantics or major architectural changes. I think by having the tables to be defined with replication count, and the proposed client API changes (Consistency definition) plugs well into the HBase model rather well. > > A few thoughts: > - Both approaches need to have more failure handling cases thought out. > Agreed.
