HConnection/HMasterInterface should allow for way to get hostname of currently
active master in multi-master HBase setup
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HBASE-5209
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-5209
Project: HBase
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: master
Reporter: Aditya Acharya
I have a multi-master HBase set up, and I'm trying to programmatically
determine which of the masters is currently active. But the API does not allow
me to do this. There is a getMaster() method in the HConnection class, but it
returns an HMasterInterface, whose methods do not allow me to find out which
master won the last race. The API should have a getActiveMasterHostname() or
something to that effect.
