> Key: HBASE-5940
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-5940
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Liyin Tang
>
> The motivation of introducing the HardLink operation/api in HDFS is to get a
> full copy of the file without copying the bytes.
> So users/applications can create multiple hard links to the same source file
> instantly.
> And HBase can make full use of the hard-link to generate the in-cluster
> backup snapshot instantly.
