------------------------------------------
Summary: Backup ancestry trees should have the ability to be
invalidated
Key: HBASE-29240
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-29240
Project: HBase
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: backup&restore
Reporter: Hernan Gelaf-Romer
To improve backup consistency, it should be possible to invalidate the ancestry
tree for a modern backup, prompting the operator to perform a full backup.
One practical use case for this enhancement is handling table truncation more
effectively. Currently, if a full backup is taken, a table is truncated, new
data is written, and an incremental backup is triggered, restoring the backup
will include both pre-truncation and post-truncation data.
To address this issue, the ancestry tree should be invalidated whenever a table
is truncated. This will enforce the creation of a new full backup, ensuring
consistency during the restore process.
