Geoffrey Jacoby commented on HBASE-26158:
-----------------------------------------
I agree the curator version compatibility is a big issue here too. There's a
curator.version in the HBase pom.xml, but it only seems to be used for a coproc
example. There's little to no guidance to end users about what version of
curator are compatible with what versions of HBase.
Again, I think [~zhangduo] makes a good point that with a publicly available ZK
minicluster, the MiniZookeeperCluster may no longer be necessary. It's working
fine both internally and externally, so I don't feel strongly that it needs to
go, but I wouldn't mind if it did -- so long as it was deprecated both
externally AND internally, via the usual deprecation method.
I believe that would be, in HBase 3.0:
1. Take on curator-test as a formal dependency of HBase. This requires figuring
out which version to use, excluding conflicting transitive dependencies, etc
2. Probably shade it into hbase-thirdparty?
3. Do HBASE-26167 to allow for overriding ZK with an external embedded ZK
quorum.
4. Switch TestingHBaseCluster and HBTU to use curator-test by default
5. Fix any HBase tests that break because of this effort
6. Fix any bugs found in curator-test because of this effort
5. Deprecate the MiniZookeeperCluster and the methods in HBTU that reference it
(but still support them during the 3.x cycle).
In HBase 4.0:
1. Delete the MiniZookeeperCluster and the methods in HBTU that reference it.
At this point, HBase will have offloaded its embedded ZK onto a ZK-based
project, similarly to how MiniDFSCluster is I believe part of HDFS. Which would
be good.
On the other hand, if that sounds like a lot of work compared to the
benefit...please remember that that aside from HBASE-26167 and the actual
deprecation JIRA, that's almost the same work you're asking end-users to do.
