Vladimir Rodionov commented on HBASE-14417: ------------------------------------------- {quote} Suppose there're two backup sets involving common table(s). The bulk loaded hfiles for the common table should be shared by the two backups. {quote} Its fine. We keep backup data per table (in incremental mode), means, that we need ship bulk load only once to backup destination.

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)
