Jimmy Xiang commented on HBASE-5487: ------------------------------------ The doc is very good. I like the Problem and Design Principles sections. The region state machine can be enhanced. We should have a single source of truth which is scalable and performs well. I think it could be the master (in memory). All actions (including split/merge) should be started and managed by the master. > Generic framework for Master-coordinated tasks > ---------------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-5487 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-5487 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: master, regionserver, Zookeeper > Affects Versions: 0.94.0 > Reporter: Mubarak Seyed > Priority: Critical > Attachments: Region management in Master.pdf > > > Need a framework to execute master-coordinated tasks in a fault-tolerant > manner. > Master-coordinated tasks such as online-scheme change and delete-range > (deleting region(s) based on start/end key) can make use of this framework. > The advantages of framework are > 1. Eliminate repeated code in Master, ZooKeeper tracker and Region-server for > master-coordinated tasks > 2. Ability to abstract the common functions across Master -> ZK and RS -> ZK > 3. Easy to plugin new master-coordinated tasks without adding code to core > components -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.1#6144)
