Doug Meil commented on HBASE-4655:
----------------------------------
Hi folks, sorry about the delay in commenting.
I liked the refresher on "why backup?" in the beginning.
I also found some of the names confusing (e.g., RBU, CBU).
The strategy here in the doc is terrific, but I'd like to see this get a little
more "actionable" with specifics. For example in the Stage1 RBU incremental,
"list all the regions, for each region, ask the RS hosting it for a list of
HFiles". How is this to be done? Using Java-API to list regions? Reading the
HBase files from HDFS? Ostensibly the RS hosting the region has to come from
an online API. The strategy is great, but it will generate a flurry of
(warranted) questions on how the average person does it.
