Jonathan Hsieh commented on HBASE-10070: ---------------------------------------- This discussion might be better to have on the dev@ list then here. Shall we start a thread there? > HBase read high-availability using eventually consistent region replicas > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: HBASE-10070 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-10070 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: New Feature > Reporter: Enis Soztutar > Assignee: Enis Soztutar > Attachments: HighAvailabilityDesignforreadsApachedoc.pdf > > > In the present HBase architecture, it is hard, probably impossible, to > satisfy constraints like 99th percentile of the reads will be served under 10 > ms. One of the major factors that affects this is the MTTR for regions. There > are three phases in the MTTR process - detection, assignment, and recovery. > Of these, the detection is usually the longest and is presently in the order > of 20-30 seconds. During this time, the clients would not be able to read the > region data. > However, some clients will be better served if regions will be available for > reads during recovery for doing eventually consistent reads. This will help > with satisfying low latency guarantees for some class of applications which > can work with stale reads. > For improving read availability, we propose a replicated read-only region > serving design, also referred as secondary regions, or region shadows. > Extending current model of a region being opened for reads and writes in a > single region server, the region will be also opened for reading in region > servers. The region server which hosts the region for reads and writes (as in > current case) will be declared as PRIMARY, while 0 or more region servers > might be hosting the region as SECONDARY. There may be more than one > secondary (replica count > 2). > Will attach a design doc shortly which contains most of the details and some > thoughts about development approaches. Reviews are more than welcome. > We also have a proof of concept patch, which includes the master and regions > server side of changes. Client side changes will be coming soon as well. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.1#6144)
