Duo Zhang commented on HBASE-19216:
-----------------------------------

When we have the Remote procedure f/w and informing the RSs, can that take the 
peer info also? Again to look at the ZK?
{quote}

For modifying peer, my design is to update the external storage first, and then 
tell the RS to fetch the new config from that storage.

But at least I need to tell the RS the peer id so there is a binary parameter 
which can be used to carry some information. You can serialize a protobuf 
message at master side and deserialize it at RS side to get what you want.

Thanks.

> When building the basic framework for HBASE-19064, I found that the 
> enable/disable peer is built upon the watcher of zk.
> The problem of using watcher is that, you do not know the exact time when all 
> RSes in the cluster have done the change, it is a 'eventually done'. 
> And for synchronous replication, when changing the state of a replication 
> peer, we need to know the exact time as we can only enable read/write after 
> that time. So I think we'd better use procedure to do this. Change the flag 
> on zk, and then execute a procedure on all RSes to reload the flag from zk.
> Another benefit is that, after the change, zk will be mainly used as a 
> storage, so it will be easy to implement another replication peer storage to 
> replace zk so that we can reduce the dependency on zk.
