If you can comment on that jira with the exact use case that'd be helpful.
If you wanted to work on a patch that'd be cooler even :)
Interesting thanks, I'll look into it.
The ticket seems to confirm that registering a WALActionListener from
inside a coprocessor is not going to work. Something I discovered today
as well.
With a completely different approach, I did manage to get something
working by constructing the path to the HLog files myself (in the
coprocessor) and reading them from there. So I am not notified about the
HLog files being rolled etc, I simply poll the directory on HDFS for
available files. It's a bit an ugly solution, and (apart from additional
delays) maybe there are even issues with it that I did not think of yet?
Anyway, I would like the HBASE-4844 approach a lot better for sure.
thanks,
Jan
