+The above command creates snapshot `snapshot1234` with TTL of 86400 sec (24
hours)
and hence, the snapshot is supposed to be cleaned up after 24 hours
.Default Snapshot TTL:
-
-- FOREVER by default
-- User specified Default TTL with config `hbase.master.snapshot.ttl`
-
-
-While creating a Snapshot, if TTL in seconds is not specified, by default the
snapshot
-would not be deleted automatically. i.e. it would be retained forever until it
is
-manually deleted. However, the user can update this default TTL behavior by
-providing default TTL in sec for key: `hbase.master.snapshot.ttl`.
-Value 0 for this config indicates TTL: FOREVER
-
+- User specified default TTL with config `hbase.master.snapshot.ttl`
+- FOREVER if `hbase.master.snapshot.ttl` is not set
+
+While creating a snapshot, if TTL in seconds is not explicitly specified, the
above logic will be
+followed to determine the TTL. If no configs are changed, the default behavior
is that all snapshots
+will be retained forever (until manual deletion). If a different default TTL
behavior is desired,
+`hbase.master.snapshot.ttl` can be set to a default TTL in seconds. Any
snapshot created without
+an explicit TTL will take this new value.
+
+NOTE: If `hbase.master.snapshot.ttl` is set, a snapshot with an explicit {TTL
=> 0} or
+{TTL => -1} will also take this value. In this case, a TTL < -1 (such as {TTL
=> -2} should be used
+to indicate FOREVER.
Review comment:
The behavior is a bit strange, is this by design? Or it just works like
this?
