The above is restore, right ?
For backup, we only keep hfile refs.

No, for backup. Where are you going to keep bulkloaded files after backup is
complete? Not sure, I am following you here.

> Project: HBase

>
> 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).
