In HBase, this is a feature referred to as Region Replicas. Implemented not too long ago. I'm sure you can find a design doc.

> I'm an accumulo newbie, but I wish to see the concept of multi-homed tablets. This allows us to have tablets hosted by multiple servers, with only one being writable against it. This concept would allow n receiver servers for a tablet. An example might be a tablet that has become a hot spot could be dynamically hosted elsewhere, and clients could pick this up as a potential. Consistency must be kept between the hosts, as the initial read/write host may compact or write to that tablet. 
> To me the larger problem may come from live ingest in which the write ahead log has not been flushed. To avoid having to write to the read only servers in a pipeline, we would likely need to create a model of enforcing reads only after a flush of that tablet or a thrift interface to allow reading only the data in memory to ensure consistency is enforced. I haven't given great thought to solving this yet. 
> Please comment with ideas and pitfalls as I would like to see this wish come to fruition with actionable tickets after some community thought.
