HBase Architecture : Write-Ahead Log



WAL is the lifeline that is needed when disaster strikes, it records all changes to the data.So if the server crashes, it can effectively replay that log to get everything up to where the server should have been just before the crash. It also means that if writing the record to the WAL fails, the whole operation must be considered a failure

HLOG
The class that implements the WAL is called HLog.
