Matteo Bertozzi commented on HBASE-6205:
----------------------------------------
Do we really need almost 3 + 1 identical features?
* backup mode (HBASE-5547)
* snapshots (HBASE-6055)
* keep data for some time before delete (HBASE-6205)
* HDFS trash (why is shell only?)
Can't we just do everything with the snapshots? maybe marking the snapshot with
some tag like User-Snapshot, Backup-Snapshot, Delete-Snapshot?
The table backup can be done by taking a snapshot end exporting it to another
cluster.
The delete can create a snapshot and you should be able to restore it.
Maybe we can have some properties to say:
* hbase.droptable.snapshot (true|false) take an automatic snapshot on drop
table
* hbase.droptable.snapshot.lifetime (sec) keep the drop table snapshot for X
seconds.

> User may drop table accidentally because of error code or other uncertain
> reasons.
> Unfortunately, it happens in our environment because one user make a mistake
> between production cluster and testing cluster.
> So, I just give a suggestion, do we need to support an option to keep data of
> dropped table for some time, e.g. 1 day
> In the patch:
> We make a new dir named .trashtables in the rood dir.
> In the DeleteTableHandler, we move files in dropped table's dir to trash
> table dir instead of deleting them directly.
> And Create new class TrashCleaner which will clean dropped tables if it is
> time out with a period check.
> Default keep time for dropped tables is 1 day, and check period is 1 hour.
