HBase Wandisco value add?

[#1]

HBase supports async and sync replication across multiple clusters. Is wandisco's value add it can do a automatic failure over (ie load-balancer-fail over detection) between the clusters?

Hi @Sunile Manjee.

It's a bit more fully featured than that, Wandisco solutions generally operate at a level above the underlying service, so if one of the HBase clusters dies, the users don't notice any change, the second area of significant importance is Wandisco's solution ability to handle significant distances between clusters, where as standard HBase replication is usually within the same datacentre or only via very fast links, not full geo replication.

They also have a webinar on HBase, the final section is all about using Fusion Active HBase across multiple datacentres:

Hope that helps!
