Ashish Singhi commented on HBASE-18477:
---------------------------------------
Have you considered about Security related stuffs like ACL, Quota will be
handled ?
Why I have asked this is I think each cluster will have its own ZK, any ACL or
quota information update by user will be updated in the RS memory using ZK
notifications. So in this case only primary cluster RS will get notifications
about the updates what about the read only clusters ?
> Umbrella JIRA for HBase Read Replica clusters
> ---------------------------------------------

> Key: HBASE-18477
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-18477
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Zach York
> Assignee: Zach York
> Attachments: HBase Read-Replica Clusters Scope doc.docx, HBase
> Read-Replica Clusters Scope doc.pdf
>
>
> Recently, changes (such as HBASE-17437) have unblocked HBase to run with a
> root directory external to the cluster (such as in Amazon S3). This means
> that the data is stored outside of the cluster and can be accessible after
> the cluster has been terminated. One use case that is often asked about is
> pointing multiple clusters to one root directory (sharing the data) to have
> read resiliency in the case of a cluster failure.
>
> This JIRA is an umbrella JIRA to contain all the tasks necessary to create a
> read-replica HBase cluster that is pointed at the same root directory.
>
> This requires making the Read-Replica cluster Read-Only (no metadata
> operation or data operations).
> Separating the hbase:meta table for each cluster (Otherwise HBase gets
> confused with multiple clusters trying to update the meta table with their ip
> addresses)
> Adding refresh functionality for the meta table to ensure new metadata is
> picked up on the read replica cluster.
> Adding refresh functionality for HFiles for a given table to ensure new data
> is picked up on the read replica cluster.
>
> This can be used with any existing cluster that is backed by an external
> filesystem.
>
> Please note that this feature is still quite manual (with the potential for
> automation later).
