Jesse Yates commented on HBASE-6353:
------------------------------------
Woah, that patch is massive :) Do you think you can break it into two jiras?
The shell stuff should be here, but not the restore functionality which you
seem to be adding. Also, those tickets should probably be dependencies, rather
than relates (so you don't need to include all the restore/snapshot code here).
Can you add the features such that you can also do it from a table reference
(see the shell's Table class for adding the admin functions to a table). Good
stuff Matteo.

> h6. hbase shell with snapshot commands
> * snapshot <snapshot name> <table name>
> ** Take a snapshot of the specified name with the specified name
> * restore_snapshot <snapshot name>
> ** Restore specified snapshot on the original table
> * mount_snapshot <snapshot name> <table name> [readonly]
> ** Load the snapshot data as specified table (optional readonly flag)
> * list_snapshots [filter]
> ** Show a list of snapshots
> * delete_snapshot <snapshot name>
> ** Remove a specified snapshot
> h6. Restore Table
> Given a "snapshot name" restore override the original table with the snapshot
> content.
> Before restoring a new snapshot of the table is taken, just to avoid bad
> situations.
> (If the table is not disabled we can keep serving reads)
> This allows a full and quick rollback to a previous snapshot.
> h6. Mount Table (Aka Clone Table)
> Given a "snapshot name" a new table is created with the content of the
> specified snapshot.
> This operation allows:
> * To have an old version of the table in parallel with the current one.
> ** Look at snapshot side-by-side with the "current" before making the
> decision whether to roll back or not
> * To Restore only "individual items" (only some small range of data was lost
> from "current")
> ** MR job that scan the cloned table and update the data in the original
> one. (Partial restore of the data)
> * if the table is not marked as read-only
> ** To Add/Remove data from this table without affecting the original one or
> the snapshot.
> h6. Open points
> * Add snapshot type option on take snapshot command (global, timestamp)?
> * Keep separate the "restore" from "mount"?
