Hi Jack,

            I understood this concept. The DFS client is directly connected to 
the datanodes in hdfs and perform the read/write block data with communicate 
with the namenode by client protocol . Is there is no direct involvement of


 namenode in the HBase operation ? 

Thanks

The master will detect that RS is down by periodically checking a 
zookeeper ( it will say in the master log, znode expired ). After, it 
will check to see if there is anything in /hbase/.logs directory for 
that region server, if something is found, master will replay the log 
records and 'push' them into region directories, when master is done, 
the 'unopened' regions will be opened by the rest of the region 
servers and all regions that were down will be back online.
