Summary: HBase Backup/Restore Phase 2: Create plugin hooks for
Backup tools
Key: HBASE-14416
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-14416
Project: HBase
Issue Type: Sub-task
Reporter: Geoffrey Jacoby
Different organizations may already have their own backup tools for HBase, or
wish to develop them in the future for their own particular use cases. It would
be useful if HBase supported hooks to integrate those tools so that they could
be configured and run in a standard way.
In particular, the administrative interface to start a backup, restore, or
merge should be decoupled from any particular implementation as much as
possible, so that any implementation with similar capabilities can be
substituted via configuration without needing to fork or modify the code.
Ideally, it will also be possible to decouple the various components so that
implementations can be mixed and matched. (For example, one could use the
standard backup's functionality to track what needs to be backed up, but use a
custom plugin to change the logic or storage format of the backup operation
itself.)
