Christopher Tubbs updated ACCUMULO-132:
---------------------------------------
Fix Version/s: (was: 1.5.0)
> read-only access to existing tables for speculative execution
> -------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: ACCUMULO-132
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-132
> Project: Accumulo
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: client
> Reporter: Eric Newton
> Assignee: Eric Newton
>
> An accumulo user has a need to perform a map/reduce over an entire table.
> Right now, if a tablet server is running on a machine that has become slow
> due to failing hardware (it happens... a lot), the mapper using that server
> also runs slowly. If we allow speculative execution, the second map just
> goes back to the same tablet server, doubling the load on our already slow
> server. However, the data behind the tablet server is sitting there in
> multiple locations in HDFS. The user can live without pulling the most
> recent updates in the tablet server's memory.
> Possible solutions:
> # provide read-only hosting of a tablet from another node, possibly on demand
> # convenient way of re-creating the tablet server iterator stack and reading
> the files directly
> # clone the table/tablet (has the benefit that a reference is maintained in
> the metadata table)
