--------------------------------------------
@Doug:
<< list all the regions, for each region, ask the RS hosting it for a list of
HFiles >>
There is already an API to get a list of regions and the regionservers hosting
them. And we added a new API to the RS to list the HFiles for the regions it
hosts.
<< The strategy is great, but it will generate a flurry of (warranted)
questions on how the average person does it. >>
True - but this task is only to make sure the document is easy to read and
understand by an average user. We can definitely add more details if needed,
but that would risk confusing people. I will definitely incorporate the other
suggestions (confusing names, etc). The rest of the tasks deal with giving a
way for the average users to do backups by running/cron-ing a command and not
have to deal with the internals of how it works.
