[jira] [Commented] (HBASE-7721) Local Transactions in META

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

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-7721?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13568347#comment-13568347 ] 

stack commented on HBASE-7721:
------------------------------

Nice.

bq. We have to implement a Custom RegionSplitPolicy for the META regions to ensure that a table's regions are always co-located in the same META region. 

Could punt on this a while given .META. does not split currently (We should allow it split one day to spread the load and to make it so less damage done if only a piece of .META. is offline because of server crash rather than all).

bq. Move META to zookeeper. Use zookeeper.multi.

Why you say this Enis?

I think doing this change would make us generally more robust around region state.

> Thanks to Lars' local transactions patch (HBASE-5229), we can entertain the possibility of doing local transactions within META regions.
> We need this mainly for region splits and merges. Clients scan the META concurrent to the split/merge operations, and to prevent the clients from seeing overlapping region boundaries or holes in META, we just through hoops. For more backgroun, see BlockingMetaScannerVisitor, HBASE-5986, and my comments at https://reviews.apache.org/r/8716/. 
> Now, for the actual implementation options: 
>  1. As outlined in http://hadoop-hbase.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html, 
>    - We have to implement a Custom RegionSplitPolicy for the META regions to ensure that a table's regions are always co-located in the same META region. Then we can add MultiRowMutationEndpoint as a system level coprocessor, and use it for META operations. 
>  2. Do smt like HBASE-7716, and expose local atomic multi-row operations as a native API.
>  3. Move META to zookeeper. Use zookeeper.multi.  
> Then we can change region split / merge logic to make use of atomic META operations. 
> Thoughts, suggestions?
