--------------------------------------
Summary: Support for mixed or write-heavy workloads on non-HDFS
filesystems
Key: HBASE-20429
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-20429
Project: HBase
Issue Type: Umbrella
Reporter: Andrew Purtell
We can support reasonably well use cases on non-HDFS filesystems, like S3,
where an external writer has loaded (and continues to load) HFiles via the bulk
load mechanism, and then we serve out a read only workload at the HBase API.
Mixed workloads or write-heavy workloads won't fare as well. In fact, data loss
seems certain. It will depend in the specific filesystem, but all of the S3
backed Hadoop filesystems suffer from a couple of obvious problems, notably a
lack of atomic rename.
This umbrella will serve to collect some related ideas for consideration.
