---------------------------------------
Summary: Freeze and thaw Phoenix tables
Key: PHOENIX-1550
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PHOENIX-1550
Project: Phoenix
Issue Type: New Feature
Reporter: Andrew Purtell
HBase snapshots provide a way to freeze the state of a table and then later
restore that state from the snapshot or clone it into a new table. This can be
very convenient for a wide range of use cases. However, we can't apply this
technique directly to Phoenix tables because Phoenix generates and uses more
state in more locations than a basic HBase table - a Phoenix table may have one
or more secondary indexes, global or local, schema in the system catalog,
sequence state, statistics.
This issue is about considering a freeze and thaw feature for Phoenix tables,
perhaps based on HBase snapshots. A freeze operation would create a consistent
point in time snapshot of a Phoenix table and all related index data and
metadata. A thaw operation would restore frozen state either by overwriting the
table or by cloning the state into a new table.
