> Components: backup&restore

>
> When bulk load operations are performed, the resulting files are backed up to
> the backup location via the continuous backup process.
> However, during Point-In-Time Recovery (PITR), restoring these bulk-loaded
> files efficiently can be challenging.
> To address this, we propose the following guidelines for handling bulk loads
> in the context of continuous backup and PITR:
> * When a user performs a bulk load on any table under continuous backup and
> PITR, they *must take a full or incremental backup* afterward. An incremental
> backup is generally sufficient and faster.
> *Required Changes*
> # {*}Documentation Update{*}:
> ## Add a note in the HBase Backup and Restore documentation explaining this
> rule and its importance.
> # {*}Logging Suggestion{*}:
> ## After a bulk load operation completes, log a message suggesting the user
> perform a full or incremental backup.
> # {*}PITR Enhancements{*}:
> * During PITR, check if any bulk load operation occurred after the last
> successful backup.
> * If no such backup exists, inform the user and fail the process.
> * -If the user chooses to proceed (e.g., using a {{{}{}}}{{{}force{}}}
> flag), continue with a warning that the bulk-loaded files will not be part of
> the restored table.-
