             Summary: HRegionInfo changes for adding replicaId and 
MetaEditor/MetaReader changes for region replicas
                 Key: HBASE-10347
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-10347
             Project: HBase
          Issue Type: Sub-task
          Components: Region Assignment
            Reporter: Enis Soztutar
             Fix For: 0.99.0


As per parent jira, the cleanest way to add region replicas we think is to 
actually create one more region per replica per primary region. So for example, 
if a table has 10 regions with replication = 3, the table would indeed be 
created with 30 regions. These regions will be handled and assigned 
individually for AM purposes. 
We can add replicaId to HRegionInfo to indicate the replicaId, and use this to 
differentiate different replicas of the same region. So, primary replica would 
have replicaId = 0, and the others will have replicaId > 0. 

These replicas will share the same regionId prefix, but differ in an appended 
replicaId. The primary will not contain the replicaId so that no changes would 
be needed for existing tables. 

In meta, the replica regions are kept in the same row as the primary ( so for 
above example, there will be 10 rows in meta). The servers for the replicas are 
kept in columns like "server+replicaId".
