Francis Liu commented on HBASE-6721:
------------------------------------
> Have you considered introducing interface for AssignmentManager so that
> existing and new managers can be easily swapped?
Yes, part of the proposal is to make AssignmentManager pluggable. I'll add that
as a subtask for this.
> Have you considered storing group information in zookeeper instead of on hdfs
> ?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems the approach HBase has taken for it's
usage of ZK is more towards storing temporal data for coordination and the real
source of truth is on HDFS or Tables. And we decided to follow the same
approach.
> Please explain more about RegionServerGroupProtocol.
RegionServerGroupProtocol exposes APIs to manage Grouping (see API in doc). The
currently plan is that these APIs will be used and exposed via the CLI
commands.
> Another aspect is fault tolerance.
> Say the smallest group consists of 6 region servers, the impact of majority
> of the 6 servers going down at the same time is much higher than 6
> servers out of whole cluster going down where there is only one group.
This is similar to hbase cluster sizing for fault tolerance. Let's play around
with it and later on document best practices.

> In multi-tenant deployments of HBase, it is likely that a RegionServer will
> be serving out regions from a number of different tables owned by various
> client applications. Being able to group a subset of running RegionServers
> and assign specific tables to it, provides a client application a level of
> isolation and resource allocation.
> The proposal essentially is to have an AssignmentManager which is aware of
> RegionServer groups and assigns tables to region servers based on groupings.
> Load balancing will occur on a per group basis as well.
> This is essentially a simplification of the approach taken in HBASE-4120. See
> attached document.
