Make the hlog file names unique
-------------------------------
Key: HBASE-2580
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-2580
Project: Hadoop HBase
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Jean-Daniel Cryans
Assignee: Jean-Daniel Cryans
Fix For: 0.21.0
Currently the HLog archiving thread adds another timestamp to ensure the file
names are "unique". This is ugly and makes it harder to track the HLogs
movements from outside (like replication). Instead we could use a UUID as the
file name.
I was discussing with Stack the need of keeping a timestamp in the file name...
I think we can't get rid of it since we need to read the HLogs in sequence when
splitting.
