Josh, On a doc side we have a very good manual:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/attachment/12829269/Backup-and-Restore-Apache_19Sep2016.pdf The only thing what was changed is the command-line tools args format, but you can start from there - just type command w/o args. In the current implementation the worst thing which could happen is a failure during backup, which will leave backup system table in incomplete state (read - broken). This won't affect cluster operations but may prevent further backup operations (will require full backup for all table to reset broken system table). I am currently starting working on HBASE-15227. It will probably take a week or two to finish. On a doc side, as I already mention we will need to update command-line tool section in the doc I posted above. -Vlad On Tue, Mar 14, 2017 at 1:57 PM, Josh Elser <els...@apache.org> wrote: > I took a moment to read through the "blockers" as originally identified by > Vlad, and (to echo Enis' take) I read the majority of them as being > blockers not for the next release, but for a "full-fledged feature".
