Motivation for HBase Replication
• Even though HBase is:

• distributed;

• fault-tolerant;

The Current State
• It’s production-ready.

The Current State
• It’s used to replicate data between thousands

Design
• Clusters are distinct
• Pull VS push
• Sync VS Async

Clusters are Distinct
• HBase doesn’t span DCs, HDFSs

• .META. operations aren’t replicated

First Release - 0.90.0
• Simple master-slave (only one)
• Disabled by default
• Uses ZK as a metadata store

First Lesson Learned
• HDFS doesn’t support tailing ﬁles being
written to. It requires:
• open()
• seek()// go where we stopped last time
• while (not EOF || enoughData)
• read()
• close()
• repeat
14

Second Lesson Learned
• Single threaded, non-batched ZK is slow
• ZK didn’t have an atomic move operation
• Doubles # ops needed, race conditions

Second Release - 0.92.0
• Cyclic replication
• Multi-slave (scope LOCAL or GLOBAL)
• Enable / disable peer
• Special conﬁgurations

Special Conﬁgurations
• KEEP_DELETED_CELLS
• Must be used on slaves with replication when
deleting data.

Special Conﬁgurations
• KEEP_DELETED_CELLS
• Must be used on slaves with replication when
deleting data.
• MIN_VERSION
• With TTL, makes it easy to conﬁgure a slave that
contains only the last few days of data.
20

Third Lesson Learned
• It’s easy to DDOS yourself.
• Replication was using the normal handlers...
• ... and using them to write back!
21
Handler1: Put
Handler2: Delete
Handler3: Replicate
Handler4: Get
Handler5: Put
Replicated Put goes in the queue

Fourth Lesson Learned
• Instinctively, what would something called
stop_replication do?

Third Release - 0.96.0 / 0.98.0
• Replication enabled by default!
• Completely refactored for readability/
extensibility (Chris Trezzo)
• ReplicationSyncUp tool (HBASE-9047)
• Throttling (HBASE-9501)
• Finer grained replication controls
(HBASE-8751)
23

ReplicationSyncUp Tool
• Works on an offline cluster
• Can ﬁnish replicating the queues in ZK
• Useful to ﬁnish draining a master cluster

Finer Grained Replication Controls
> set_peer_tableCFs '2', "table1;
table2:cf1,cf2; table3:cfA,cfB"
• Meaning: enable replication to peer #2 for:
• All of table1
• cf1 and cf2 from table2
• cfA and cfB from table3
25

26
Agenda
• Roadmap

Flurry
• Two data centers, coast to coast
• Three clusters, in master-master pairs
• 1200 nodes
• 800 nodes
• 30 nodes
• Replication traffic: 2Gbps
• Latency between DCs: 85ms
27

Opower
• Two clusters, same data center
• Master: tens of nodes
• Slave: tens of nodes
• Replication traffic: 1GB/day
• Bulk load replication traffic: 180GB/day
• Recent use case
28

Lily HBase Indexer
• Collaboration between NGData & Cloudera.
• NGData are the creators of the Lily data
management platform.
• Lily HBase Indexer
• Service which acts as a HBase replication listener.
• Custom sink writes to SolrCloud.
• Integrates Cloudera Morphlines library for ETL of
rows.
29

30
Agenda
• Roadmap

Stop Relying on Permanent Znodes
• Current rule is to never rely on znodes to
survive cluster restarts, upgrades, etc.
• State data should be kept in an HBase table.
• Notiﬁcation done through a new mechanism
• See: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/
HBASE-10295
31

Deﬁne a Replication Interface
• Replication is somewhat extendable but it
lacks stable interfaces.
• The HBase Indexer is such an extension and it
required surgery every time a committer
sneezed.
• See: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/
HBASE-10504
32

Distributed Counters
• Incrementing consists of:
33

1.Taking a lock;
33

1.Taking a lock;
2.Get’ing the current value; and
33

1.Taking a lock;
3.Put’ing the newly incremented value.
33

1.Taking a lock;
• This breaks in Master-Master because the
Puts are overwriting each other.

More Tooling
• Replication management console, one shell to
rule all the clusters!
• Replication bootstrapping tool.
• Tool that can move queues between region
servers.
• Tool that can throttle replication on a live
cluster.
