Prathyusha created HBASE-29458: ---------------------------------- Summary: Remove store files api in SFT to only archive physical files and ignore virtual links Key: HBASE-29458 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-29458 Project: HBase Issue Type: Improvement Reporter: Prathyusha
HBASE-27826 introduces tracking of Link/Reference files with StoreFileTracker interface and with that, we can have the FileBasedStoreFileTracker implementation to track Link/Reference files only using .filelist file itself and not create actual link/ref files (virtual links). So Virtual links no longer need to be archived and that abstraction should be at SFT layer instead of HRegionFileSystem where the removeStoreFiles api exists, which does the hfile archival triggered from CompactedHFilesDischarger and as part of HStore open -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.10#820010)
