=== Custom WAL Directory
HBASE-17437 added support for specifying a WAL directory outside the HBase root directory or even in a different FileSystem since 1.3.3/2.0+. Some FileSystems (such as Amazon S3) don’t support append or consistent writes, in such scenario WAL directory needs to be configured in a different FileSystem to avoid loss of writes.
Following configurations were added to accomplish this:
Following configurations are added to accomplish this:
. `hbase.wal.dir`
+
This defines where the root WAL directory is located, could be on a different FileSystem than the root directory. WAL directory can not be set to a subdirectory of the root directory. The default value of this is the root directory if unset.
+
. `hbase.rootdir.perms`
+
Configures FileSystem permissions to set on the root directory. This is '700' by default.

NOTE: While migrating to custom WAL dir (outside the HBase root directory or a different FileSystem) existing WAL files must be copied manually to new WAL dir, otherwise it may lead to data loss/inconsistency as HMaster has no information about previous WAL directory.
