Joep Rottinghuis commented on HBASE-17018:
------------------------------------------
[~devaraj] thanks for your feedback. Indeed I'm well aware that this feature
may not make it into HBase if the consensus is indeed that this doesn't fit the
intended core use-cases. I'm trying to keep the code separate so that it is
relatively easy to pull out wholesale. For modifications of existing code I'll
file separate sub-tasks.
Do you mind if I develop the code a little further here under the watchful eye
of HBase gurus?
Also, would you have any suggestions how I should go about tackling sub-task
HBASE-17327: "Allow for lazy connection / BufferedMutator creation"? I'm happy
to do the work, but would like an opinion on the desired approach from HBase
folks such as yourself.

> 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.
