Backup Again

[Michael Dagaev]

Hi, all

    I read HBASE-974 and HBASE-643 mentioned on the list
but what do you think about copying tables from the production
to a backup Hbase cluster ? I guess we do need a big iron
for such a backup cluster.

I understand that the copy can be implemented with MR
but for now we can implement it just as a simple sequential script,
which scans the tables of the production Hbase and writes the data
to the backup Hbase.

Does it make sense?

Thank you for your cooperation,
M.
