> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Client
> Reporter: Andrew Kyle Purtell
> Assignee: Bharath Vissapragada

> Clients are required to connect to ZooKeeper to find the location of the
> regionserver hosting the meta table region. Site configuration provides the
> client a list of ZK quorum peers and the client uses an embedded ZK client to
> query meta location. Timeouts and retry behavior of this embedded ZK client
> are managed orthogonally to HBase layer settings and in some cases the ZK
> cannot manage what in theory the HBase client can, i.e. fail fast upon outage
> or network partition.
> We should consider new configuration settings that provide a list of
> well-known master and backup master locations, and with this information the
> client can contact any of the master processes directly. Any master in either
> active or passive state will track meta location and respond to requests for
> it with its cached last known location. If this location is stale, the client
> can ask again with a flag set that requests the master refresh its location
> cache and return the up-to-date location. Every client interaction with the
> cluster thus uses only HBase RPC as transport, with appropriate settings
> applied to the connection. The configuration toggle that enables this
> alternative meta location lookup should be false by default.
> This removes the requirement that HBase clients embed the ZK client and
> contact the ZK service directly at the beginning of the connection lifecycle.
> This has several benefits. ZK service need not be exposed to clients, and
> their potential abuse, yet no benefit ZK provides the HBase server cluster is
> compromised. Normalizing HBase client and ZK client timeout settings and
> retry behavior - in some cases, impossible, i.e. for fail-fast - is no longer
> necessary.
> And, from [~ghelmling]: There is an additional complication here for
> token-based authentication. When a delegation token is used for SASL
> authentication, the client uses the cluster ID obtained from Zookeeper to
> select the token identifier to use. So there would also need to be some
> Zookeeper-less, unauthenticated way to obtain the cluster ID as well.
