Duo Zhang commented on HBASE-19216:
-----------------------------------

I think this is independent from synchronous replication so create a separated issue for it.

> When building the basic framework for HBASE-19064, I found that the enable/disable peer is built upon the watcher of zk.
> The problem of using watcher is that, you do not know the exact time when all RSes in the cluster have done the change, it is a 'eventually done'. 
> And for synchronous replication, when changing the state of a replication peer, we need to know the exact time as we can only enable read/write after that time. So I think we'd better use procedure to do this. Change the flag on zk, and then execute a procedure on all RSes to reload the flag from zk.
> Another benefit is that, after the change, zk will be mainly used as a storage, so it will be easy to implement another replication peer storage to replace zk so that we can reduce the dependency on zk.
