>From my tests, calling "hbase master stop" or "HBaseAdmin.shutdown()" does not seem to bring down backup masters. JD seemed to have fixed this in HBASE-1448 (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-1448), but it looks like that code went away with the master rewrite. Does anyone have an objection to me fixing using the same idea/code as 1448 (adding a "shutdown node" in ZK on which all masters should listen)? Or perhaps the omission was intentional? Thanks, Greg
