Andrew Kyle Purtell commented on HBASE-11288:
---------------------------------------------
bq. But anyway, the ConnectionRegsitry is pluggable, so for users who can not
control things other than HBase, they could use the new registry implementation
in HBASE-18095 to reduce the load of zookeeper,
[~zhangduo] We are going to discuss this in this level of detail, I feel I have
to enumerate why we built it, which doesn't have anything to do with load per
se, just to clarify:
- For configuring for fail fast, having to think about zk connection
configuration particulars in addition to HBase RPC configuration is doable, but
clumsy, and limiting, and not always done correctly. It matters when you
operate at scale and have a number of different internal customers with
different expectations about retry or fail-fast behavior. A monolithic deploy /
service organization may not have this, which is fine, it's optional.
- It's a security problem that zk is exposed to clients. ZK's security model is
problematic. (3.5 and up can be better with TLS, requiring successful client
and server cert-based auth before accepting any requests, but we don't support
the ZK TLS transport out of the box actually.) For operators with this concern,
now they can isolate the ZK service from end users with network or host ACLs,
and HBase can service those clients still.
