Vladimir Rodionov commented on HBASE-19105:
-------------------------------------------
That is not that easy and straightforward.
First of all, it is not possible to execute two *identical* backups on
different clusters - they will always be slightly different due to the
replication lag, for example. In a primary + DR configuration, I would suggest
doing backups *only* in DR cluster. In this case you will always have single
source of backed up data.
What do you think, [~amitkabraiiit]?
> Add ability to compare backups in HBase backups.

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-19105
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: backup&restore
> Reporter: Amit Kabra
> Priority: Major
>
> For certain scenarios eg DR scenario, before making a site switch we need to
> ensure that backups in primary and dr is same. Tool to compare the backups
> helps in such case that can do cross cluster backups validation.
>
> Current backups generate data in backup_<timestamp> format and this can be
> different in primary and dr and is not easily comparable.
