Todd Lipcon commented on HDFS-3077: ----------------------------------- bq. Todd, where is your design doc? It has been three weeks since your comment. I used up my design doc writing credits on the HDFS-3185 doc last week. Will write one here ASAP, sorry for the delay. > Quorum-based protocol for reading and writing edit logs > ------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HDFS-3077 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-3077 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: ha, name-node > Reporter: Todd Lipcon > Assignee: Todd Lipcon > Attachments: hdfs-3077-partial.txt > > > Currently, one of the weak points of the HA design is that it relies on > shared storage such as an NFS filer for the shared edit log. One alternative > that has been proposed is to depend on BookKeeper, a ZooKeeper subproject > which provides a highly available replicated edit log on commodity hardware. > This JIRA is to implement another alternative, based on a quorum commit > protocol, integrated more tightly in HDFS and with the requirements driven > only by HDFS's needs rather than more generic use cases. More details to > follow. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
