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?

> 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.
