Andrew Purtell commented on HBASE-7411:
---------------------------------------
I get it.
Using the recipes ... importing proven code would be ok.
Adding more and more Maven dependencies to small single owner projects is the
concern. If we think that we can/should fork at some future time if we need to
bugfix one or more of them in 6 months or 2 years and the owner has gone away
or in a different direction, then ok.
I have no idea if we'd end up in that position with Curator of course. But ZK
is so critical to HBase.

> Key: HBASE-7411
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-7411
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Zookeeper
> Affects Versions: 0.96.0
> Reporter: Enis Soztutar
> Assignee: Enis Soztutar

> We have mentioned using the Curator library
> (https://github.com/Netflix/curator) elsewhere but we can continue the
> discussion in this.
> The advantages for the curator lib over ours are the recipes. We have very
> similar retrying mechanism, and we don't need much of the nice client-API
> layer.
> We also have similar Listener interface, etc.
> I think we can decide on one of the following options:
> 1. Do not depend on curator. We have some of the recipes, and some custom
> recipes (ZKAssign, Leader election, etc already working, locks in HBASE-5991,
> etc). We can also copy / fork some code from there.
> 2. Replace all of our zk usage / connection management to curator. We may
> keep the current set of API's as a thin wrapper.
> 3. Use our own connection management / retry logic, and build a custom
> CuratorFramework implementation for the curator recipes. This will keep the
> current zk logic/code intact, and allow us to use curator-recipes as we see
> fit.
> 4. Allow both curator and our zk layer to manage the connection. We will
> still have 1 connection, but 2 abstraction layers sharing it. This is the
> easiest to implement, but a freak show?
> I have a patch for 4, and now prototyping 2 or 3 whichever will be less
> painful.
