users@accumulo,
I need help understanding if one could recover or backup tables by taking their
files stored in HDFS and reattaching them to tablet servers, even though this
would mean the loss of information from recent mutations and write ahead logs.
The documentation on recovery is focused on the failure of a tablet server,
but, in the event of a failure of the master or other situation where the
tablet servers cannot be utilized, it would be beneficial to know whether the
files in HDFS can be used for recovery.
Thanks,
Patrick Lynch
