Re: Problems with accumulo replication
Could it be the second problem?
I'm seeing exceptions like this one in the tablet server logs:
2018-01-02 09:09:23,481 [zookeeper.DistributedWorkQueue] WARN : Failed
to process work b1bba0c2-dde2-42d4-8c10-ef51d13448ca|peer1|4l|6
java.lang.RuntimeException: Instance name peer1 does not exist in
zookeeper. Run "accumulo
org.apache.accumulo.server.util.ListInstances" to see a list.
When I run "accumulo org.apache.accumulo.server.util.ListInstances" it
only lists the primary accumulo.
Could the problem be in the ZooKeeper Quorum I used when I registered
the peer instance? I used the IP ot the peer as the only IP as the
ZooKeeper Quorum value.

Re: Problems with accumulo replication

That sounds like a problem :)
The normal case is that you have two ZooKeeper instances, one for the
primary and one for the peer. As such, it stands that the ZK quorum for
your primary would not contain instance information for the peer
Accumulo instance. What is the Accumulo instance name for the Accumulo
cluster which is the "peer"? Remember that the "logical" name you give
the cluster to uniquely identify the cluster for replication is
different than the Accumulo instance name.
I would double check your Accumulo configuration, notably around the
ZooKeeper quorum for replication. You can do this via the Accumulo shell
doing something like `config -f replication`.
You can check the docs for a refresher on this:
