Lars Hofhansl commented on HBASE-5547:
--------------------------------------
Addendum v1 looks good to me. I also agree that we should remove the TTL
cleaner when the ZK cleaner is tested.
Might be prudent to add an "integration test" that uses both in some manner.
One question looking at the addendum: When would the passed configuration to
archiveRegion be different from fs.getConfiguration()? It seems that should not
happen; if it did other confusion might arise.

> 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.
