Ted Yu commented on HBASE-14417: -------------------------------- BackupHFileCleaner should be registered through hbase.master.hfilecleaner.plugins . It is responsible for keeping bulk loaded hfiles so that incremental backup can pick them up. BackupObserver should be registered through hbase.coprocessor.region.classes It is notified when bulk load completes and writes records into hbase:backup table. > Incremental backup and bulk loading > ----------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-14417 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-14417 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: New Feature > Affects Versions: 2.0.0 > Reporter: Vladimir Rodionov > Assignee: Ted Yu > Priority: Critical > Labels: backup > Fix For: 2.0.0 > > Attachments: 14417-tbl-ext.v9.txt, 14417.v1.txt, 14417.v11.txt, > 14417.v13.txt, 14417.v2.txt, 14417.v21.txt, 14417.v23.txt, 14417.v24.txt, > 14417.v25.txt, 14417.v6.txt > > > Currently, incremental backup is based on WAL files. Bulk data loading > bypasses WALs for obvious reasons, breaking incremental backups. The only way > to continue backups after bulk loading is to create new full backup of a > table. This may not be feasible for customers who do bulk loading regularly > (say, every day). > Google doc for design: > https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ACCLsecHDvzVSasORgqqRNrloGx4mNYIbvAU7lq5lJE -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
