Abstract
Apache HBase provides automatic failover on RegionServer crashes. When a RegionServer crashes, the HBase cluster and the data remain available. When a RegionServer crashes, all the regions on the RegionServer migrate to another RegionServer. The Master handles RegionServer failures by assigning the regions handled by the failed RegionServer to another RegionServer.
