Lars Hofhansl commented on HBASE-5320: -------------------------------------- I have no concrete plans, yet. There are simple ideas of # just letting the client wait it out (blocking the client) or # just check whether ZK/Master is up, let the app react to that I am not following why there needs to be another server to determine whether a service down. Or are you planning to "preannounce" outages through this extra server? Or to distinguish between an outage and a planned maintenance? > Create client API to handle HBase maintenance gracefully > -------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-5320 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-5320 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Mikhail Bautin > Assignee: Mikhail Bautin > Priority: Minor > > When we do HBase cluster maintenance, we typically have to manually stop or > disable the client temporarily.
