stack updated HBASE-9047:
-------------------------
Fix Version/s: (was: 0.98.0)
(was: 0.95.2)
Moving new feature out of 0.95/0.96. If done in time, we can bring it in...
especially if external tool.
> Tool to handle finishing replication when the cluster is offline

> Key: HBASE-9047

> We're having a discussion on the mailing list about replicating the data on a
> cluster that was shut down in an offline fashion. The motivation could be
> that you don't want to bring HBase back up but still need that data on the
> slave.
> So I have this idea of a tool that would be running on the master cluster
> while it is down, although it could also run at any time. Basically it would
> be able to read the replication state of each master region server, finish
> replicating what's missing to all the slave, and then clear that state in
> zookeeper.
> The code that handles replication does most of that already, see
> ReplicationSourceManager and ReplicationSource. Basically when
> ReplicationSourceManager.init() is called, it will check all the queues in ZK
> and try to grab those that aren't attached to a region server. If the whole
> cluster is down, it will grab all of them.
> The beautiful thing here is that you could start that tool on all your
> machines and the load will be spread out, but that might not be a big concern
> if replication wasn't lagging since it would take a few seconds to finish
> replicating the missing data for each region server.
> I'm guessing when starting ReplicationSourceManager you'd give it a fake
> region server ID, and you'd tell it not to start its own source.
> FWIW the main difference in how replication is handled between Apache's HBase
> and Facebook's is that the latter is always done separately of HBase itself.
> This jira isn't about doing that.
