For HFiles: > 1. Need to track t1,t2 for each backup (start and end times of the backup) > 2. For point in time restore to time t, pick a HFile snapshot which has t2 < t > 3. Copy HFile snapshot to a temp location - HTABLE_RESTORE_t > B. For HLogs: > for each regionserver do > for .logs and .oldlogs do > 1. log file is hlog.TIME > 2. if (t > TIME and hlog.TIME is open for write) fail restore for t > 3. Pick the latest HLog whose create time is < t1 > 4. Pick all HLogs whose create time is > t1 and <= t2 > 5. Copy hlogs to the right structures inside HTABLE_RESTORE_t > C. Split logs > 1. Enhance HLog.splitLog to take timestamp t > 2. Enhance distributed log split tool to pass HTABLE_RESTORE_t, so that log > split is picked up and put in the right location > 3. Enhance distributed log split tool to pass t so that all edits till t are > included and others ignored > D.
