Lars Hofhansl commented on HBASE-5547: -------------------------------------- +1 on patch. Ted pinged me, that he is out already. Since this is a Salesforce patch, I should commit it anyway. Will do so as soon as I get to it. Jesse, do you have a feeling about how different a 0.94 patch would be? > Don't delete HFiles when in "backup mode" > ----------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-5547 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-5547 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: New Feature > Reporter: Lars Hofhansl > Assignee: Jesse Yates > Fix For: 0.94.2 > > Attachments: 5547-v12.txt, 5547-v16.txt, hbase-5447-v8.patch, > hbase-5447-v8.patch, hbase-5547-v9.patch, java_HBASE-5547_v13.patch, > java_HBASE-5547_v14.patch, java_HBASE-5547_v15.patch, > java_HBASE-5547_v4.patch, java_HBASE-5547_v5.patch, java_HBASE-5547_v6.patch, > java_HBASE-5547_v7.patch > > > This came up in a discussion I had with Stack. > It would be nice if HBase could be notified that a backup is in progress (via > a znode for example) and in that case either: > 1. rename HFiles to be delete to <file>.bck > 2. rename the HFiles into a special directory > 3. rename them to a general trash directory (which would not need to be tied > to backup mode). > That way it should be able to get a consistent backup based on HFiles (HDFS > snapshots or hard links would be better options here, but we do not have > those). > #1 makes cleanup a bit harder. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
