Hi,

I am implementing disaster recovery for our Hbase cluster and had one quick 
question about import/export of the s3n file system.

I know that ExportTable can be given a start time and end time enabling 
incremental backups. My question is how to properly store these incremental 
backups on s3.

My idea is to have them in a nested folders in a bucket like so:
s3://backups/mytable/YEAR/MONTH/DAY/HR

So say the initial backup goes is now
s3://backups/mytable/2014/11/2/11

Tomorrow at the same time would be:
s3://backups/mytable/2014/11/3/11

Would a ImportTable be able to take just the s3://backups/mytable and 
recursively import all the sequence files from there?

Thanks,
Pere
