[jira] [Commented] (HBASE-11116) Allow ReplicationSink to write to tables when READONLY is set

["Jean-Daniel Cryans (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-11116?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13990246#comment-13990246 ] 

Jean-Daniel Cryans commented on HBASE-11116:
--------------------------------------------

I wonder if you could sort of enable that right now with ACLs. Basically, only the user that runs hbase can write to the tables on the slave cluster, everyone else is disallowed.

> A common practice with MySQL replication is to enable the read_only flag (http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/server-system-variables.html#sysvar_read_only) on slaves in order to disallow any user changes to a slave, while allowing replication from the master to flow in.  In HBase, enabling the READONLY field on a table will cause ReplicationSink to fail to apply changes.  It'd be ideal to have the default behavior allow replication to continue going through, a configurable option to influence this type of behavior, or perhaps even a flag that manipulates a peer's state (e.g. via add_peer) that dictates if replication can write to READONLY tables.
