Ajay Jadhav commented on HBASE-18448:
-------------------------------------
Yes, it is an admin operation. I see most of the classes/ interfaces in
coprocessor package in hbase-server are marked-
@InterfaceAudience.LimitedPrivate(HBaseInterfaceAudience.COPROC)
May be I can follow the same as the definition is consistent with the intended
use for refreshHFiles API.
> Added support for refreshing HFiles through API and shell

> In the case where multiple HBase clusters are sharing a common rootDir, even
> after flushing the data from
> one cluster doesn't mean that other clusters (replicas) will automatically
> pick the new HFile. Through this patch,
> we are exposing the refresh HFiles API which when issued from a replica will
> update the in-memory file handle list
> with the newly added file.
> This allows replicas to be consistent with the data written through the
> primary cluster.
