Francis Liu commented on HBASE-6721:
------------------------------------
Thanks for the interest and attention guys. I'll put up a seed list of pros and
cons over the weekend. And we can hammer out concerns there.
Similar to namespaces, regionserver groups can actually be enabled by default
and existing users wouldn't notice any difference (except for the extra table
that needs to be assigned). Unless they actually use it (similar to
namespaces).
FWIW I believe this feature is useful even for small clusters as long as you
have a variation of tenants (or just misbehaving tenants). There are bunch of
scenarios that need protection/isolation/QoS. ie cascading failures caused by a
tenant, block cache thrashing, different configurations (ie GC configs),
different requirements. This becomes even more important in a mixed workload
environment (MR, storm, etc).

> In multi-tenant deployments of HBase, it is likely that a RegionServer will
> be serving out regions from a number of different tables owned by various
> client applications. Being able to group a subset of running RegionServers
> and assign specific tables to it, provides a client application a level of
> isolation and resource allocation.
> The proposal essentially is to have an AssignmentManager which is aware of
> RegionServer groups and assigns tables to region servers based on groupings.
> Load balancing will occur on a per group basis as well.
> This is essentially a simplification of the approach taken in HBASE-4120. See
> attached document.
