ramkrishna.s.vasudevan commented on HBASE-12848: ------------------------------------------------ Reading the intent of the JIRA it is ideally to specify where the active WAL is going to be and not on the archived WALs or any file. The archived files movement should happen at the back end something like a copy option. So it should be a back end option. Moving some files to SSDs also should be a backend option and it is more like HDFS doing it on receiving an instruciton to move the files. > Utilize Flash storage for WAL > ----------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-12848 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-12848 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Sub-task > Reporter: Ted Yu > Assignee: Ted Yu > Fix For: 2.0.0, 1.1.0 > > Attachments: 12848-v1.patch, 12848-v2.patch, 12848-v3.patch, > 12848-v4.patch, 12848-v4.patch > > > One way to improve data ingestion rate is to make use of Flash storage. > HDFS is doing the heavy lifting - see HDFS-7228. > We assume an environment where: > 1. Some servers have a mix of flash, e.g. 2 flash drives and 4 traditional > drives. > 2. Some servers have all traditional storage. > 3. RegionServers are deployed on both profiles within one HBase cluster. > This JIRA allows WAL to be managed on flash in a mixed-profile environment. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
