---------------------------------------
Summary: Exclude special volumes
Key: ACCUMULO-4078
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-4078
Project: Accumulo
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: core
Affects Versions: 1.7.0
Reporter: Matt Peterson
Priority: Minor
A few improvements to the VolumeChooser are desired for a particular use case
that seems to be general enough that it warrants an updated to Accumulo.
Perhaps these ideas should become sub-tickets. Note that the improvements
listed below have been implemented for my particular instance and I expect to
submit them as a patch.
Use Case:
A new volume is added, with limited capacity, to be dedicated for a specific
table. All other tables or files should be excluded from this new volume.
Suggested Improvements:
1. Update the signature for VolumeManager.choose to take a
VolumeChooserEnvironment instead of Optional<String>. This will allow future
parameters for volume selection without repeatedly changing the VolumeManager
interface.
2. It's not currently possible to specify preferred volumes for the write-ahead
logs
3. In several places including PreferredVolumeChooser, PerTableVolumeChooser
and VolumeManagerImpl, the failsafe chooser is the RandomVolumeChooser which
will include the instance volume that needs to be excluded. It would be useful
to have a configurable failsafe in this situation.
4. The volume chooser is called in FileUtils for temp directory creation but it
could instead use the sticky dir to create the temp directory, not needing the
volume chooser at all.
