Thank you sooo much guys! I used s3n and that's fixed it. I will try s3a too. Thanks for much for that thread, Ted. On 5 May 2016 at 14:07, Ted Yu wrote: > Lex: > Please also see this thread about s3n versus s3a: > >

never seen that problem before, but a couple of suggestions you can try. Instead of the old s3 driver, you can use s3n or s3a if you have it available (those are the ones I tested) and instead of using hbase.root dir use -copy-from ExportSnapshot -snapshot SNAPSHOT_NAME -copy-to

Hi all, I'm having a couple of problems with exporting HBase snapshots to S3. I am running HBase version 1.2.0. I have a table called "domain" And I have created a snapshot for it: hbase(main):003:0> snapshot 'domain', 'domain-aws-test' 0 row(s) in 0.3310 seconds --- I am attempting to

Another practice is to send the snapshots to S3. That works great for disaster recovery and specially if you are running your HBase cluster on EC2 or if you have means to use AWD Direct Connect from your private infrastructure. cheers, esteban. -- Cloudera, Inc. On Thu, Apr 9, 2015 at 3:38

Indeed you will be sending 1.2TB over the wire. I think the common practice is to export a snapshot from local HDFS to remote HDFS (or HDFS-alike, such as S3). The idea is you get full bi-directional bandwidth (modulo head-of-rack switching) between all peers in both clusters. On Thu, Apr 9, 2015

Hi, what is the reason to backup HDFS? It's distributed, reliable, fault-tolerant, e.t.c. NFS should expensive in order to keep TBs of data. What problem you are trying to solve? 2015-04-09 20:35 GMT+02:00 Afroz Ahmad ahmad@gmail.com: We are planning to use the snapshot feature that

We are planning to use the snapshot feature that takes a backup of a table with 1.2 TB of data. We are planning to export the data using ExportSnapshot and copy the resulting files to a NFS mount periodically. Out infrastructure team is very concerned about the amount of data that will be going
