dhruba borthakur commented on HBASE-2376:
-----------------------------------------
Awesome. This will be really helpful to mitigate any kind of application
logical bugs where the app mistakenly removes a bunch of records from Hbase,
then the user/admin realises his/her mistake, and wants to refetch those
records from a previous point in time.
> Add special SnapshotScanner which presents view of all data at some time in
> the past

> Project: Hadoop HBase
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: client, regionserver
> Affects Versions: 0.20.3
> Reporter: Jonathan Gray
>
> In order to support a particular kind of database "snapshot" feature which
> doesn't require copying data, we came up with the idea for a special
> SnapshotScanner that would present a view of your data at some point in the
> past. The primary use case for this would be to be able to recover
> particular data/rows (but not all data, like a global rollback) should they
> have somehow been messed up (application fault, application bug, user error,
> etc.).
