You can go ahead with this! : > Near-instantaneous online schema and table state updates > -------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-1730 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-1730 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Andrew Purtell > Assignee: stack > Priority: Critical > Fix For: 0.92.0 > > Attachments: 1730-v2.patch, 1730-v3.patch, 1730.patch, > HBASE-1730.patch > > > We should not need to take a table offline to update HCD or HTD. > One option for that is putting HTDs and HCDs up into ZK, with mirror on disk > catalog tables to be used only for cold init scenarios, as discussed on IRC. > In this scheme, regionservers hosting regions of a table would watch > permanent nodes in ZK associated with that table for schema updates and take > appropriate actions out of the watcher. In effect, schema updates become > another item in the ToDo list. > {{/hbase/tables/<table-name>/schema}} > Must be associated with a write locking scheme also handled with ZK > primitives to avoid situations where one concurrent update clobbers another. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
