Matteo Bertozzi created HBASE-7987:
--------------------------------------
Summary: Snapshot Manifest file instead of multiple empty files
Key: HBASE-7987
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-7987
Project: HBase
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: snapshots
Reporter: Matteo Bertozzi
Priority: Minor
Currently taking a snapshot means creating one empty file for each file in the
source table directory, plus copying the .regioninfo file for each region, the
table descriptor file and a snapshotInfo file.
during the restore or snapshot verification we traverse the filesystem
(fs.listStatus()) to find the snapshot files, and we open the .regioninfo files
to get the information.
to avoid hammering the NameNode and having lots of empty files, we can use a
manifest file that contains the list of files and information that we need.
To keep the RS parallelism that we have, each RS can write its own manifest.
