Sun Fulin commented on PHOENIX-1550: ------------------------------------ [~maghamraviki...@gmail.com] Any progress ? > 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. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
