Scenario

The HBase cluster in the current environment is a DR cluster. Due to some reasons, the active and standby clusters need to be switched over. That is, the standby cluster becomes the active cluster, and the active cluster becomes the standby cluster.

Impact on the System

After the active and standby clusters are switched over, data cannot be written to the original active cluster, and the original standby cluster becomes the active cluster to take over upper-layer services.

Procedure

Ensuring that upper-layer services are stopped

Ensure that the upper-layer services have been stopped. If not, perform operations by referring to Performing an HBase DR Service Switchover.

Disabling the write function of the active cluster

Download and install the HBase client.
On the HBase client of the standby cluster, run the following command as user hbase to disable the data write function of the standby cluster:

kinit hbase

hbase shell

set_clusterState_standby

The command is run successfully if the following information is displayed:
```
hbase(main):001:0> set_clusterState_standby
=> true
```

Checking whether the active/standby synchronization is complete

Run the following command to ensure that the current data has been synchronized (SizeOfLogQueue=0 and SizeOfLogToReplicate=0 are required). If the values are not 0, wait and run the following command repeatedly until the values are 0.

status 'replication'

Disabling synchronization between the active and standby clusters

Query all synchronization clusters and obtain the value of PEER_ID.

list_peers
Delete all synchronization clusters.

remove_peer 'Standby cluster ID'

Example:

remove_peer '1'
Query all synchronized tables.

list_replicated_tables
Disable all synchronized tables queried in the preceding step.

disable_table_replication 'Table name'

Example:

disable_table_replication 't1'
