Lars Hofhansl commented on HBASE-10935:
---------------------------------------
Not hot on passing the specific string "skipFlush" either. Can we make that
constant, or maybe just a boolean?
This would need to be in 0.96, 0.98, and 0.99 as well.
> support snapshot policy where flush memstore can be skipped to prevent
> production cluster freeze

> We are using snapshot feature to do HBase disaster recovery. We will do
> snapshot in our production cluster periodically. The current flush snapshot
> policy require all regions of the table to coordinate to prevent write and do
> flush at the same time. Since we use WALPlayer to complete the data that is
> not in the snapshot HFile, we don't need the snapshot to do coordinated
> flush. The snapshot just recored all the HFile that are already there.
> I added the parameter in the HBase shell. So people can choose to use the
> NoFlush snapshot when they need, like below. Otherwise, the default flush
> snpahot support is not impacted.
> >snaphot 'TestTable', 'TestSnapshot', 'skipFlush'
