Sean Busbey commented on HBASE-12848:
-------------------------------------
That's not my concern; It's that we have "WAL_STORAGE_POLICY_ONE_SSD" and
"WAL_STORAGE_POLICY_ALL_SSD" and do no verification that folks have used one of
those or the default. Could we remove them in the code and end the release note
with a link to [the HDFS docs on storage
policy|http://hadoop.apache.org/docs/r2.6.0/hadoop-project-dist/hadoop-hdfs/ArchivalStorage.html]?
We could do it as a part of pointing out that the underlying HDFS instance
must be configured to use storage policies.

> One way to improve data ingestion rate is to make use of Flash storage.
> HDFS is doing the heavy lifting - see HDFS-7228.
> We assume an environment where:
> 1. Some servers have a mix of flash, e.g. 2 flash drives and 4 traditional
> drives.
> 2. Some servers have all traditional storage.
> 3. RegionServers are deployed on both profiles within one HBase cluster.
> This JIRA allows WAL to be managed on flash in a mixed-profile environment.
