Andrew Purtell created HBASE-20429: -------------------------------------- Summary: Support for mixed or write-heavy workloads on non-HDFS filesystems Key: HBASE-20429 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-20429 Project: HBase Issue Type: Umbrella Reporter: Andrew Purtell
We can support reasonably well use cases on non-HDFS filesystems, like S3, where an external writer has loaded (and continues to load) HFiles via the bulk load mechanism, and then we serve out a read only workload at the HBase API. Mixed workloads or write-heavy workloads won't fare as well. In fact, data loss seems certain. It will depend in the specific filesystem, but all of the S3 backed Hadoop filesystems suffer from a couple of obvious problems, notably a lack of atomic rename. This umbrella will serve to collect some related ideas for consideration. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
