How do general backup ops and bulk loaded files effect each other?
{quote}
When backup fails, we restore backup system table from snapshot. If Observers
write to the same table as general backup operation, some data from Observers
may be lost when we restore table from snapshot. I thought, I explained that.
Second table keeps only bulk load related references. We do not care about
consistency of this table, because bulk load is idempotent operation and can be
repeated after failure. Partially written data in second table does not affect
on BackupHFileCleaner plugin, because this data (list of bulk loaded files)
correspond to a files which are *have not been loaded yet successfully* and,
hence - are not visible to the system
> Add Fault tolerance to HBASE-14417 (Support bulk loaded files in incremental
> backup)
