> Ensure Cleanup of Continuous Backup WALs After Last Backup is Force Deleted
> ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HBASE-29350
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-29350
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Task
> Components: backup&restore
> Reporter: Vinayak Hegde
> Assignee: Vinayak Hegde
> Priority: Major
> Labels: pull-request-available
>
> When the last backup is deleted using the {{-fd}} (force delete) option,
> there are no remaining backups to recover from. In this state:
> * Continuous backup metadata in the system table becomes obsolete.
> * WAL files under the backup WAL directory are no longer needed.
> * The replication peer used for continuous WAL tracking serves no purpose.
> Since the entire backup chain is gone, we can safely clean up all related
> metadata and WAL artifacts to free up storage and avoid stale state in the
> system.
