Ajay Jadhav updated HBASE-18477: -------------------------------- Attachment: HBase Read-Replica Clusters Scope doc_v2.docx > 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, HBase Read-Replica Clusters Scope > doc_v2.docx > > > 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). > > More information on this particular feature can be found here: > https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/big-data/setting-up-read-replica-clusters-with-hbase-on-amazon-s3/ -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029)
