Jonathan Gray commented on HBASE-2700:
--------------------------------------
Context of above is just a quick first go at what a master will do when it is a
failed-over-to master.
The ZK-based region transitions definitely break with the BT paper. This
direction came out of discussions about the best way to persist master state
over in HBASE-2485.
I'm generally very in favor of moving the master away from the
basescanner/heartbeat way of doing things towards zk and rpc. Assignment is
untenable in the current style and master failover does not currently work.
This design makes this stuff a lot easier imo, not to mention faster.
We can address specifics as patches come in, but in general is there opposition
to the design of using zk for regions in transition and assignment rather than
the basescanner and heartbeats?
