Ted Yu commented on HBASE-14417: -------------------------------- I was adding new test which does one more full table backup after the incremental restore and verifies that BulkLoadDescriptor's are cleaned up from hbase:backup. It turns out the bulk loaded hfiles were renamed during the incremental restore which resulted in FileNotFoundException. Filed HBASE-16672 so that the bulk loaded hfiles can be used for multiple restore destinations. > 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: Ted Yu > Priority: Critical > Labels: backup > Fix For: 2.0.0 > > Attachments: 14417.v1.txt > > > 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). > Google doc for design: > https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ACCLsecHDvzVSasORgqqRNrloGx4mNYIbvAU7lq5lJE -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
