---------------------------------------
Summary: MetaTableAccessor shouldn't use ZooKeeeper
Key: HBASE-11462
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-11462
Project: HBase
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Client, Zookeeper
Affects Versions: 2.0.0
Reporter: Mikhail Antonov
Assignee: Mikhail Antonov
Fix For: 2.0.0
After committing patch for HBASE-4495, there's an improvement which can be made
(discussed originally on review board to that jira).
We have MetaTableAccessor and MetaTableLocator classes. First one is used to
access information stored in hbase:meta table. Second one is used to deal with
ZooKeeper state to find out region server hosting hbase:meta, wait for it to
become available and so on.
MetaTableAccessor, in turn, should only operate on the meta table content, so
shouldn't need ZK. The only reason why MetaTableAccessor is using ZK - when
callers request assignment information, they can request location of meta table
itself, which we can't read from meta, so in that case MetaTableAccessor relays
the call to MetaTableLocator. May be the solution here is to declare that
clients of MetaTableAccessor shall not use it to work with meta table itself
(not it's content).
