---------------------------------
Summary: Incremental Restore Feature
Key: KUDU-3219
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KUDU-3219
Project: Kudu
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: backup
Affects Versions: 1.13.0
Reporter: Grant Henke
Currently Kudu supports incremental backup but it doesn't support incremental
restore. This is because we can't validate the state of the target tables has
gone unchanged since the full backup was applied so the only "safe" thing to do
is to apply a full restore plus all the incrementals. It would be nice to add
some validation of table state, but a good first step might be to provide the
mechanism for incremental restore and document the limitation.
Today in order to restore only new incrementals you would need to set
`createTables=false` and a `rootPath` that only contains the incrementals you
want to apply. That is more difficult than necessary because it requires
alteration to the backup job or manually dissecting the backup root directory
structure.
