Dear All, In my Hadoop 0.20.1/HBase 0.20.3 cluster I’ve got 2 region servers. On each region server, Hadoop DataNode and HBase RegionServer processes are running. Hadoop is set up redundantly (it writes each data to both DataNodes, i.e. writes data with replication factor 2). But as per information from the HBase Web UI, HBase creates on the region servers unique regions. E.g. tables A, B are created on region server 1, and tables C, D are created on the region server 2. Next, I noticed, when region server 1 is not available, the tables A and B are not available as well (cannot be read/written to).
Could you kindly suggest, how to make HBase redundant, so that all tables are available even if one of region servers fails/dies? Have I missed a Hadoop/HBase setting to do so? Thank you, Andrey Timerbaev
