------------------------------------
{quote}I'm fine with this landing in master.
I'll try to take a thorough look at the code after 2.0 release (If i miss
that, i'll consider myself ineligible for casting any +/- 1).

Thanks Appy. Your input is appreciated. I think the direction you're proposing
makes sense, but it might be premature to push this forward right now. I've
been seeing some funkiness in branch-2 work around procv2. Letting it burn in
on branch-2 first is probably a good idea. I'm glad we can help Vlad move
forward now and revisit this later.
I'm +1 on this one. Committing it now to master.

> Design approach rollback-via-snapshot implemented in this ticket:
> # Before backup create/delete/merge starts we take a snapshot of the backup
> meta-table (backup system table). This procedure is lightweight because meta
> table is small, usually should fit a single region.
> # When operation fails on a server side, we handle this failure by cleaning
> up partial data in backup destination, followed by restoring backup
> meta-table from a snapshot.
> # When operation fails on a client side (abnormal termination, for example),
> next time user will try create/merge/delete he(she) will see error message,
> that system is in inconsistent state and repair is required, he(she) will
> need to run backup repair tool.
> # To avoid multiple writers to the backup system table (backup client and
> BackupObserver's) we introduce small table ONLY to keep listing of bulk
> loaded files. All backup observers will work only with this new tables. The
> reason: in case of a failure during backup create/delete/merge/restore, when
> system performs automatic rollback, some data written by backup observers
> during failed operation may be lost. This is what we try to avoid.
> # Second table keeps only bulk load related references. We do not care about
> consistency of this table, because bulk load is idempotent operation and can
> be repeated after failure. Partially written data in second table does not
> affect on BackupHFileCleaner plugin, because this data (list of bulk loaded
> files) correspond to a files which have not been loaded yet successfully and,
> hence - are not visible to the system
