Zhihong Yu commented on HBASE-5209:
-----------------------------------
For ServerName to provide info port, we can open a separate JIRA.
@David:
Can you explain the rationale behind the new parameters ?
{code}
+ final boolean isMasterRunning,
+ final boolean isActiveMaster,
{code}
Looking at the current fields related to servers in ClusterStatus, they are all
of Collection.
I would expect a ServerName to represent the active master.
Once design passes review, please use review board for further discussion.
> HConnection/HMasterInterface should allow for way to get hostname of
> currently active master in multi-master HBase setup

> 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.
