------------------------------
Summary: Add option to LoadIncrementalHFiles which allows skipping
unmatched column families
Key: HBASE-16509
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-16509
Project: HBase
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Ted Yu
Assignee: Ted Yu
During my work on HBASE-15449, there came the need for LoadIncrementalHFiles
not to bail out on unmatched column families.
The use case is like this:
* table has two column families, A and B
* full backup is taken on this table
* column family B is dropped
* more data is written to the table
* incremental backup is performed on the table
* user performs incremental restore using the latest backup
Since column family B is gone, LoadIncrementalHFiles would fail with
IOException for family mismatch.
This issue is to add an option to LoadIncrementalHFiles so that bulk load can
load hfiles for the existing column families.
