>
> HBase should consider supporting a federated deployment where someone might
> have terascale (or beyond) clusters in more than one geography and would want
> the system to handle replication between the clusters/regions. It would be
> sweet if HBase had something on the roadmap to sync between replicas out of
> the box.
> Consider if rows, columns, or even cells could be scoped: local, or global.
> Then, consider a background task on each cluster that replicates new globally
> scoped edits to peer clusters. The HBase/Bigtable data model has convenient
> features (timestamps, multiversioning) such that simple exchange of globally
> scoped cells would be conflict free and would "just work". Implementation
> effort here would be in producing an efficient mechanism for collecting up
> edits from all the HRS and transmitting the edits over the network to peers
> where they would then be split out to the HRS there. Holding on to the edit
> trace and tracking it until the remote commits succeed would also be
> necessary. So, HLog is probably the right place to set up the tee. This would
> be filtered log shipping, basically.
> This proposal does not consider transactional tables. For transactional
> tables, enforcement of global mutation commit ordering would come into the
> picture if the user wants the transaction to span the federation. This
> should be an optional feature even with transactional tables themselves being
> optional because of how slow it would be.
