dhruba borthakur commented on ZOOKEEPER-1001: --------------------------------------------- Thanks Utkarsh. Maybe, at a minimum, we could have a BK client side APi that accesses the znode and sets the metatadata. We can still keep the Bookie dumb and at the same time shield the app form directly using the znodes. > Read from open ledger > --------------------- > > Key: ZOOKEEPER-1001 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZOOKEEPER-1001 > Project: ZooKeeper > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: contrib-bookkeeper > Reporter: Flavio Junqueira > Attachments: zk-1001-design-doc.pdf, zk-1001-design-doc.pdf > > > The BookKeeper client currently does not allow a client to read from an open > ledger. That is, if the creator of a ledger is still writing to it (and the > ledger is not closed), then an attempt to open the same ledger for reading > will execute the code to recover the ledger, assuming that the ledger has not > been correctly closed. > It seems that there are applications that do require the ability to read from > a ledger while it is being written to, and the main goal of this jira is to > discuss possible implementations of this feature. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
