Todd Lipcon commented on HBASE-4477: ------------------------------------ Sure, I don't particularly care if it happens as part of this JIRA or separately. Just wanted to drop my 2 cents :) > Ability for an application to store metadata into the transaction log > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-4477 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-4477 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: dhruba borthakur > Assignee: dhruba borthakur > Attachments: coprocessorPut1.txt, hlogMetadata1.txt > > > mySQL allows an application to store an arbitrary blob along with each > transaction in its transaction logs. This JIRA is to have a similar feature > request for HBASE. > The use case is as follows: An application on one data center A stores a blob > of data along with each transaction. A replication software picks up these > blobs from the transaction logs in A and hands it to another instance of the > same application running on a remote data center B. The application in B is > responsible for applying this to the remote Hbase cluster (and also handle > conflict resolution if any). -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
