----------------------------------
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
