[jira] [Commented] (HBASE-8039) Make HDFS replication number configurable for a column family

["Maryann Xue (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-8039?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14004836#comment-14004836 ] 

Maryann Xue commented on HBASE-8039:
------------------------------------

This was meant for use cases that would like to set a smaller number of replications for those "less important but more consuming" column families. For example, large image files.
So I assume how to resolve this issue depends on how we evaluate such use cases.

> To allow users to decide which column family's data is more important and which is less important by specifying a replica number instead of using the default replica number.
