Andrew Purtell commented on HBASE-9864:
---------------------------------------
In this particular case we would be propagating updates for a distributed
cache, where we want to loosly synchronize a cache kept on all RegionServers.
If an update does arrive in time before we go to query the external system,
then we have saved some work. Otherwise still no problem. So performance, yes,
but lightweight more so.
> Notifications bus for use by cluster members keeping up-to-date on changes

> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Brainstorming

> Fix For: 1.0.0

>
> In namespaces and acls, zk callbacks are used so all participating servers
> are notified when there is a change in acls/namespaces list.
> The new visibility tags feature coming in copies the same model of using zk
> with listeners for the features' particular notifications.
> Three systems each w/ their own implementation of the notifications all using
> zk w/ their own feature-specific watchers.
> Should probably unify.
> Do we have to go via zk? Seems like all want to be notified when an hbase
> table is updated. Could we tell servers directly rather than go via zk?
