Matteo Bertozzi commented on HBASE-7987:
----------------------------------------
Patch is up here https://reviews.apache.org/r/20192/
The new format is rolling-update friendly, so you are able to read the old
format and also take a snapshot from machines with v2 support and machines with
v1-only support
> Snapshot Manifest file instead of multiple empty files

> Currently taking a snapshot means creating one empty file for each file in
> the source table directory, plus copying the .regioninfo file for each
> region, the table descriptor file and a snapshotInfo file.
> during the restore or snapshot verification we traverse the filesystem
> (fs.listStatus()) to find the snapshot files, and we open the .regioninfo
> files to get the information.
> to avoid hammering the NameNode and having lots of empty files, we can use a
> manifest file that contains the list of files and information that we need.
> To keep the RS parallelism that we have, each RS can write its own manifest.
