Is that HBase's fault, or Pinterest's added complexity?
I'm baffled when databases don't support seamless in-place upgrades, and require a full dump and restore instead. At certain scale a full rebuild is as complex as replacing wheels of a moving car.
- beeboobaa3 2y agoHBase & Hadoop are painful to upgrade. Honestly doing anything with them is painful.
- eclark 2y agoHBase supports in-place upgrades. Almost* all version upgrades have been relatively painless if you have automation to do the necessary operations across a cluster of nodes. Hadoop upgrades have been a similar story. That minimum automation necessary is high for all stateful data stores of this size. * A few notable exceptions exist where Hadoop and HBase upgrades were necessary simultaneously. These have been awful experiences that required huge efforts to accomplish.
