Jonathan Hsieh commented on HBASE-6573:
---------------------------------------
Update on this - I've been re-organizing the code here to simplify it. A draft
can be seen here:
https://github.com/jmhsieh/hbase/tree/snapshot-ts-threadchange
I'm currently working on getting the TS snapshot functionality passing unit
tests again. Once I get that I'll, summarize the changes and rebase/port onto
the current snapshot branch.
Some key things to note.
1) This is a framework that uses zookeeper as an rpc/coordination mechanism.
Masters and region servers are only communicating via ZK.
2) This isn't a commit protocol -- if errors occur after the traditional 2pc
coordinator commit point the current behavior is to reset (remove znodes) or
and essentially abort. Traditional 2PC/3PC style algorithms would recover
from any failure after this commit point. This mechanism seems to be overkill
for log-rolling or timestamp snapshots. For the globally-consistent flavor, I
think we really want a distributed 2 phase locking protocol instead of a 2
phase commit protocol.
For the time being, my opinion is to work to get this chunk of code into the
snapshot branch, and then do patches on top of this to further simplify the
implementation.
