AutoConfig Hbase clients on HBase cluster *-site.xml changes

[Anirudha Jadhav <an...@nyu.edu>]

Hi all,

whats the norm here, when cluster properties change on hbase cluster, how
to clients re-configure themselves.

can this be handled dynamically ?
something like, hbase clients should only have a set of zkHost:port lists
and get all files from Zk to configure itself rather than going to the file
system. Picking up config files from a file system are particularly painful
if the apps are not on the same hadoop cluster.

any thoughts, or your experiences?

bq. get all files from Zk to configure itself

Recent practice for hbase is not to store information in zookeeper (there
is some exception such as cluster Id but that's what developers adhere to
lately).

Which hbase client config(s) have you observed that have to be adjusted
along with cluster config ?

Cheers
