Mahadev konar commented on ZOOKEEPER-1016:
------------------------------------------

Couple of reasons I have been thinking abt this. Having filesystem view will 
ease up the complexity in transactional logging where I am certain things like 
this would come handy:

1) manipulating directories to find last updated files
2) grep through the files (filesystem reg ex implementations will come in handy)
3) for debuggability 
  - hadoop dfs -cat bk://txnfilename | decoder (in case its binary) 
to take a look at the last logs will come in handy as well.

> Currently Bookkeeper provides functionality for cold backups. If the entity 
> logging to bookkeeper fails, its replacement must recover the ledgers which 
> had been used for backup before becoming available. This is acceptable in 
> some cases, such as HBase Wals where a small delay in recovery only results 
> in a small percentage of data being unavailable. 
> However, systems such as the HDFS namenode, this delay can be unacceptable, 
> such as cases where data is being served to customers. Secondary namenodes 
> should be ready to go the instant the primary goes down.
> TeaKeeper proposes a wrapper library around Bookkeeper providing T-Junction 
> like functionality for logging. It also provides for primary/secondary 
> election and automated hot failover. 
> HDFS namenode is primary target of this work.
> The attached design doc contains more details.
