ryan rawson commented on HBASE-2223:
------------------------------------

the previous plan was to NOT delete the log files if replication needed them... 
Sounds like you changed that?

If replication needs a log file and the server crashed and they are set to be 
split, we need to NOT delete the logfile, move them to a holding area perhaps 
and then get someone to pick the up and send them along.


A 2 hour outage isnt that much, I'd say that we should buffer logs until 
someone decides it's not worth the disk space.  Ie: make it a top level admin 
action/alert and give the administrator an option to drop the log retention and 
then do alternative catch up later.  

It would be better to hold on to a few TB of replication logs then replay that 
after 24-48 hours of downtime than to mess with the map-reduce stuff, since 
you'd have to be careful to hopefully avoid duplicating keyvalues.

> We need a nice way of handling long network partitions without impacting a 
> master cluster (which pushes the data). Currently it will just retry over and 
> over again.
> I think we could:
>  - Stop replication to a slave cluster if it didn't respond for more than 10 
> minutes
>  - Keep track of the duration of the partition
>  - When the slave cluster comes back, initiate a MR job like HBASE-2221 
> Maybe we want less than 10 minutes, maybe we want this to be all automatic or 
> just the first 2 parts. Discuss.
