stack commented on HBASE-9864:
------------------------------
The editor will not need to poke the master or the master will not need to do
proactive scans looking for updates if the argument that master and meta are
tied prevails over in HBASE-10569.
So, allowing HBASE-10569, system table edits will be noticed 'immediately'.
In the proposal, we could pass the edit on the back of the heartbeat or easier,
just prompt the heartbeater go do the lookup on the table itself. In the first
case, it may be a full heartbeat period before changes are noticed. In the
second case, it would be the heartbeat period + time to scan the table. This
could be seconds. Is this 'soon-as-possible' too much for say, an ACL update?
On plus side, this is easy-to-do and undoes our reliance on a 3rd system (zk)
for notification.
Later we could do a new Procedure mechanism if needed that writes over a new
x-cluster direct channel between Master and RS pushing out the change, waiting
on all to acknowledge and taking evasive action if any fails. This would be
more work but probably closer to 'immediate'.

>
> 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?
