[jira] [Commented] (HBASE-3677) Generate a globally unique identifier for a cluster and store in /hbase/hbase.id

It would be generally useful to be able to identify a cluster via API. The proposal here is pretty simple: # When master initializes the filesystem, generate a globally unique ID and store in /hbase/hbase.id # For existing clusters, generate hbase.id on master startup if it does not exist # Include unique ID in ClusterStatus returned from master For token authentication, this will be required to allow selecting the correct token to pass to a cluster when a single client is communicating to more than one HBase instance. Chatting with J-D, replication stores it's own cluster id in place with each HLog edit, so requires as small as possible an identifier, but I think we could automate a mapping from unique cluster ID - short ID if we had the unique ID available. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
