----------------------------------
Summary: Backup self validation for its correctness.
Key: HBASE-19106
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-19106
Project: HBase
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Amit Kabra
Backups are critical and if they don't work when we need them at the time of
restore than they are not useful. We should do sanity test for each backup job
we run that it is restorable and hence can be trusted.
A self validation feature can be added for the same to the backups where
whenever a backup is run , once it finishes it will trigger a validation job
that will do a sample restoration of the backed up data and will make sure that
it compares well with actual data.
