James Taylor commented on HBASE-12672: -------------------------------------- What is you could define the replication message protocol to have a higher level of service for some HBase tables? So instead of replicating synchronously, you'd have guaranteed delivery. It'd be more expensive, but a useful option under some circumstances. > Support optionally replicating a table synchronously > ---------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-12672 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-12672 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: James Taylor > Priority: Minor > > Sometimes a table may contain state in which it's crucial to know that > replication occurred before continuing with the update. Though this would > mean that you'd block updates to this table if your secondary cluster was > unavailable, that might be a tradeoff that a user would be willing to make. > An example would be in support of SQL sequences.
