[jira] [Updated] (HDFS-3077) Quorum-based protocol for reading and writing edit logs

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-3077?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Todd Lipcon updated HDFS-3077:
------------------------------

    Attachment: hdfs-3077.txt

New rev that addresses much of the commentary above. Still more work to do, and a few of ATM's comments haven't yet been addressed, but I want to get a Hudson and findbugs run from the QA environment overnight.

> Currently, one of the weak points of the HA design is that it relies on shared storage such as an NFS filer for the shared edit log. One alternative that has been proposed is to depend on BookKeeper, a ZooKeeper subproject which provides a highly available replicated edit log on commodity hardware. This JIRA is to implement another alternative, based on a quorum commit protocol, integrated more tightly in HDFS and with the requirements driven only by HDFS's needs rather than more generic use cases. More details to follow.
