Our full backup is using snapshot to capture > metadata locally and using exportsnapshot to move data to another cluster; > the incremental backup is using offline-WALplayer to backup HLogs; we also > leverage global distribution rolllog and flush to improve performance; other > added-on values such as convert, merge, progress report, and CLI commands. So > that a common user can backup hbase data without in-depth knowledge of hbase. > Our solution also contains some usability features for enterprise users. > The detail design document and CLI command will be attached in this jira. We > plan to use 10~12 subtasks to share each of the following features, and > document the detail implement in the subtasks: > * *Full Backup* : provide local and remote back/restore for a list of tables > * *offline-WALPlayer* to convert HLog to HFiles offline (for incremental > backup) > * *distributed* Logroll and distributed flush > * Backup *Manifest* and history > * *Incremental* backup: to build on top of full backup as daily/weekly backup > * *Convert* incremental backup WAL files into hfiles > * *Merge* several backup images into one(like merge weekly into monthly) > * *add and remove* table to and from Backup image > * *Cancel* a backup process > * backup progress *status* > * full backup based on *existing snapshot* > *-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------* > *Below is the original description, to keep here as the history for the > design and discussion back in 2013* > There have been attempts in the past to come up with a viable HBase > backup/restore solution (e.g., HBASE-4618). Recently, there are many > advancements and new features in HBase, for example, FileLink, Snapshot, and > Distributed Barrier Procedure. This is a proposal for a backup/restore > solution that utilizes these new features to achieve better performance and > consistency. > > A common practice of backup and restore in database is to first take full > baseline backup, and then periodically take incremental backup that capture > the changes since the full baseline backup. HBase cluster can store massive > amount data. Combination of full backups with incremental backups has > tremendous benefit for HBase as well. The following is a typical scenario > for full and incremental backup. > # The user takes a full backup of a table or a set of tables in HBase. > # The user schedules periodical incremental backups to capture the changes > from the full backup, or from last incremental backup. > # The user needs to restore table data to a past point of time. > # The full backup is restored to the table(s) or to different table name(s). > Then the incremental backups that are up to the desired point in time are > applied on top of the full backup. > We would support the following key features and capabilities. > * Full backup uses HBase snapshot to capture HFiles. > * Use HBase WALs to capture incremental changes, but we use bulk load of > HFiles for fast incremental restore. > * Support single table or a set of tables, and column family level backup and > restore. > * Restore to different table names. > * Support adding additional tables or CF to backup set without interruption > of incremental backup schedule. > * Support rollup/combining of incremental backups into longer period and > bigger incremental backups. > * Unified command line interface for all the above. > The solution will support HBase backup to FileSystem, either on the same > cluster or across clusters. It has the flexibility to support backup to > other devices and servers in the future. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029)
