Guys, As some of you might have noticed there is a number of new JIRAs opened recently that are aiming on abstracting and separating ZK out of HBase guts and making it an implementation detail, rather than a center of attention for some parts of the HBase.
I would like to send around a short document written by Mikhail Antonov that is trying to clarify a couple of points about this whole effort. People are asking me about this off-line, so I decided to send this around so we can have a lively and wider discussion about this initiative and the development. Here's the JIRA and the link to the PDF document. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-10866 https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/attachment/12637957/HBaseConsensus.pdf The umbrella JIRA for this effort is here https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-10909 -- Regardsk Cos
