Ted Yu commented on HBASE-14417: -------------------------------- bq. HFiles reached the backup destination The above is restore, right ? For backup, we only keep hfile refs. > Incremental backup and bulk loading > ----------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-14417 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-14417 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: New Feature > Affects Versions: 2.0.0 > Reporter: Vladimir Rodionov > Assignee: Vladimir Rodionov > Priority: Critical > Labels: backup > Fix For: 2.0.0 > > > Currently, incremental backup is based on WAL files. Bulk data loading > bypasses WALs for obvious reasons, breaking incremental backups. The only way > to continue backups after bulk loading is to create new full backup of a > table. This may not be feasible for customers who do bulk loading regularly > (say, every day). -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
