Using Apache HBase Backup and Disaster RecoveryPDF version

Common replication topologies

You must learn about the common replication topologies before you configure and deploy HBase replication.

Some common replication topologies are:
  • A central source cluster might propagate changes to multiple destination clusters, for failover or due to geographic distribution.
  • A source cluster might push changes to a destination cluster, which might also push its own changes back to the original cluster.
  • Many different low-latency clusters might push changes to one centralized cluster for backup or resource-intensive data-analytics jobs. The processed data might then be replicated back to the low-latency clusters.
  • Multiple levels of replication can be chained together to suit your needs.
