Vinayak Hegde created HBASE-29373: ------------------------------------- Summary: [Proposal] Introduce Asynchronous Support for Backup and Restore Operations Key: HBASE-29373 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-29373 Project: HBase Issue Type: Brainstorming Components: backup&restore Reporter: Vinayak Hegde
Currently, all backup and restore operations (full backup, incremental backup, restore) are executed synchronously, which can take a significant amount of time and block the calling thread. This JIRA is intended to initiate a discussion on: * Adding asynchronous execution support for these operations. * Benefits such as non-blocking user experience and better system responsiveness. * Considerations like tracking job status, retries, and user notifications on completion/failure. * Potential need for a generic job coordination framework (e.g., using ZooKeeper) to support this model. The actual framework or implementation is out of scope for this ticket — the goal is to scope out the requirements, feasibility, and design direction. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.10#820010)
