Hallo Lars,
thanks for your response. I had a discussion with my tutor about the
cluster-replication feature. He thought, this is only for backup
purposes. And I didn't find the decisive hint, that the slave can be
used for read-only queries.

Hallo Jens,
yes, you can use the slave cluster for read-only queries (but be aware that the
replication is asynchronous, which means the slave can be behind).
Beyond setting up replication there is no other setup needed for this.
We (Salesforce.com) might be adding code to supporting multiple slaves, but it
is not clear when we'll get to that, yet.

Subject: Question about HBase Cluster Replication
Hello everyone,
I have to evaluate HBase for a university project. Therefore I read the cluster
replication document on HBase main site (
http://hbase.apache.org/replication.html ).
According to the missing feature, there can be only one slave cluster
currently. Can the slave cluster be used for read only-access (eg. for
load-balancing cases)? When yes, how I have to configure the clusters?
Greetings, Jens
