Andrew Purtell updated HBASE-1964: ---------------------------------- Issue Type: Sub-task (was: Improvement) Parent: HBASE-2183 > Enter temporary "safe mode" to ride over transient FS layer problems > -------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-1964 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-1964 > Project: Hadoop HBase > Issue Type: Sub-task > Components: client > Reporter: elsif > Assignee: Andrew Purtell > Fix For: 0.21.0 > > > When a hadoop/hbase cluster is under heavy load it will inevitably reach a > tipping point where data is lost or corrupted. A > graceful method is needed to put the cluster into safe mode until more > resources can be added or the load on the cluster has been > reduced. > St.Ack has suggested the following short-term task: "Meantime, it should be > possible to have a cron run a script that checks > cluster resources from time-to-time -- e.g. how full hdfs is, how much each > regionserver is carrying -- and when it determines the needle is in the red, > flip the cluster to be read-only." -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
