------------------------------------
bq. You are setting timestamp on the Puts. You are not relying on HBase for
this?
We use our generated timestamps for certain cells. Especially for those cell
which the coprocessor needs to look at. The cell timestamps for these cells are
our unique timestamp (generated at
https://github.com/apache/hadoop/blob/trunk/hadoop-yarn-project/hadoop-yarn/hadoop-yarn-server/hadoop-yarn-server-timelineservice/src/main/java/org/apache/hadoop/yarn/server/timelineservice/storage/common/TimestampGenerator.java#L65)
which is left shifted by 1million and lower digits of the app id added to them
(at
https://github.com/apache/hadoop/blob/trunk/hadoop-yarn-project/hadoop-yarn/hadoop-yarn-server/hadoop-yarn-server-timelineservice/src/main/java/org/apache/hadoop/yarn/server/timelineservice/storage/common/TimestampGenerator.java#L90).
This is required to avoid cell over-writes for the case when say two or more
applications have to write the same column happen to write at the same instant
in time.

> For Yarn Timeline Service v2 we use HBase as a backing store.
> A big concern we would like to address is what to do if HBase is
> (temporarily) down, for example in case of an HBase upgrade.
> Most of the high volume writes will be mostly on a best-effort basis, but
> occasionally we do a flush. Mainly during application lifecycle events,
> clients will call a flush on the timeline service API. In order to handle the
> volume of writes we use a BufferedMutator. When flush gets called on our API,
> we in turn call flush on the BufferedMutator.
> We would like our interface to HBase be able to spool the mutations to a
> filesystems in case of HBase errors. If we use the Hadoop filesystem
> interface, this can then be HDFS, gcs, s3, or any other distributed storage.
> The mutations can then later be re-played, for example through a MapReduce
> job.
