Research direction

Start by reviewing the current Hive metastore replica behavior described in issue #154 and the service-discovery context in pull request #145. Research whether the shared database and ZooKeeperTokenStore support real HA, then choose between limiting replicas to one with documentation or implementing HA; done means the selected behavior is implemented and documented.

Description

type/feature-improvement

Currently, the Hive metastore can be configured with multiple replicas > 1 per role group. This results in the feeling for high availability. The service discovery to offers multiple FQDN's to different (and completely unrelated) metastores (https://github.com/stackabletech/hive-operator/pull/145).

We should consolidate the behavior and have two options:

  1. Fix replicas to 1 and offer a warning if set > 1. Add in the documentation that metastores from different rolegroups do not offer HA or interact with each other
  2. Implement HA for the metastore (e.g. using ZooKeeperTokenStore)?

TODO: They all share the same database, Metastore should still be stateless, ZK discovery does exist but not sure what uses that. This is for Jim to research
