Jesse Yates updated HBASE-5353: ------------------------------- Description: Currently, the HMaster node must be considered a 'special' node (though not a single point of failover), meaning that the node must be protected more than the other cluster machines. It should be possible to instead have the HMaster be much more available, either in a distributed sense (meaning a bit rewrite) or multiple, dynamically created instances combined with the hot fail-over of masters. (was: Currently, the HMaster node must be considered a 'special' node (single point of failure), meaning that the node must be protected more than the other commodity machines. It should be possible to instead have the HMaster be much more available, either in a distributed sense (meaning a bit rewrite) or with multiple instances and automatic failover. ) > HA/Distributed HMaster via RegionServers > ---------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-5353 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-5353 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: master, regionserver > Affects Versions: 0.94.0 > Reporter: Jesse Yates > Priority: Minor > > Currently, the HMaster node must be considered a 'special' node (though not a > single point of failover), meaning that the node must be protected more than > the other cluster machines.
