Heng Chen commented on HBASE-16509: ----------------------------------- +1 > Add option to LoadIncrementalHFiles which allows skipping unmatched column > families > ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-16509 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-16509 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Ted Yu > Assignee: Ted Yu > Attachments: 16509.v1.txt, 16509.v2.txt, 16509.v3.txt, 16509.v3.txt, > 16509.v4.txt > > > During my work on HBASE-15449, there came the need for LoadIncrementalHFiles > not to bail out on unmatched column families. > The use case is like this: > * table has two column families, A and B > * full backup is taken on this table > * column family B is dropped > * more data is written to the table > * incremental backup is performed on the table > * user performs incremental restore using the latest backup > Since column family B is gone, LoadIncrementalHFiles would fail with > IOException for family mismatch. > This issue is to add an option to LoadIncrementalHFiles so that bulk load can > load hfiles for the existing column families. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
