In reality, nobody with a skin in the game is seriously considering 99%
availability. Even 99.999% isn't suitable for some. Would you consider 5.7
minutes annualized to be a plausible danger?

How does this contradict my statement? HA is great feature, but it has nothing
to do with improving read requests latency distribution.

> In the present HBase architecture, it is hard, probably impossible, to
> satisfy constraints like 99th percentile of the reads will be served under 10
> ms. One of the major factors that affects this is the MTTR for regions. There
> are three phases in the MTTR process - detection, assignment, and recovery.
> Of these, the detection is usually the longest and is presently in the order
> of 20-30 seconds. During this time, the clients would not be able to read the
> region data.
> However, some clients will be better served if regions will be available for
> reads during recovery for doing eventually consistent reads. This will help
> with satisfying low latency guarantees for some class of applications which
> can work with stale reads.
> For improving read availability, we propose a replicated read-only region
> serving design, also referred as secondary regions, or region shadows.
> Extending current model of a region being opened for reads and writes in a
> single region server, the region will be also opened for reading in region
> servers. The region server which hosts the region for reads and writes (as in
> current case) will be declared as PRIMARY, while 0 or more region servers
> might be hosting the region as SECONDARY. There may be more than one
> secondary (replica count > 2).
> Will attach a design doc shortly which contains most of the details and some
> thoughts about development approaches. Reviews are more than welcome.
> We also have a proof of concept patch, which includes the master and regions
> server side of changes. Client side changes will be coming soon as well.
