------------------------------------------
Summary: Incremental backups can be taken with incompatible column
families
Key: HBASE-28897
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-28897
Project: HBase
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: backup&restore
Reporter: Hernan Gelaf-Romer
Incremental backups can be taken even if the table descriptor of the current
table does not match the column families of the full backup for that same
table. When restoring the table, we choose to use the families of the full
backup. This can cause the restore process to fail if we add a column family in
the incremental backup that doesn't exist in the full backup. The bulkload
process will fail because it is trying to write column families that don't
exist in the restore table.
I think the correct solution here is to prevent incremental backups from being
taken if the families of the current table don't match those of the full
backup. This will force users to instead take a full backup.
