Hello All, I am looking at the replication functionality in HBase from the perspective of failover/failback mechanisms, i.e., fail over to a slave cluster in case the master (or primary) cluster fails, and then reverting back to the original master when it is up.
By looking at the code, and replication page [1], I think the current replication functionality supports replicating a healthy cluster to a backup cluster (irrespective of any cluster size). This is not a exact failover/failback process, but a backup and recovery tool. Please correct me if I am wrong. [1] http://hbase.apache.org/replication.html Thanks, Himanshu
