stack commented on HBASE-2315:
------------------------------

Thanks you for this work Flavio.  Before going to the patch, a few of us, when 
BookKeeper showed up first, had this notion of writing HBase WAL to a BK 
Ensemble but we never did any work on it because we figured it just wouldn't be 
able to keep up.

For example, posit a smallish hbase cluster of 3-5 nodes each taking on writes 
of 10bytes-1MB of edits at rates of 100-5k writes a second.   Would BK be able 
to keep up?  What if is was a 10-20 node cluster?  What you think?

> BookKeeper, a contrib of the ZooKeeper project, is a fault tolerant and high 
> throughput write-ahead logging service. This issue provides an implementation 
> of write-ahead logging for hbase using BookKeeper. Apart from expected 
> throughput improvements, BookKeeper also has stronger durability guarantees 
> compared to the implementation currently used by hbase.
