hi, folks, We are working on jira HBase-7912( https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-7912) to open source a backup solution based on Snapshot and WAL
This JiRA provides a general solution to common users who need to backup hbase table(s) with a Fullbackup(HBase-10900) as baseline and periodeically with incremental backup(HBase-11085) to capture the delta; and restore the PIT data.. In additional, some supporting features are provided for performance, administration and usability. The whole solution has been released through IBM's BigInsights 2.1.2, and documented here: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSPT3X_2.1.2/com.ibm.swg.im.infosphere.biginsights.admin.doc/doc/admin_hbase_bkuprestore_overview.html We'd like to open source them, and hopefully provide some benefit to HBase users. At this moment, a review board(https://reviews.apache.org/r/21492/) is opened for HBase 11085, which contains the over-all framework, and looking forward to you inputs. Thanks in advance. BTW, we also shared this solution in the 'backups' session( http://hbasecon.com/sessions/#session7) of HBase conf 2014. Demai
