Lars Hofhansl commented on HBASE-5604:
--------------------------------------
Interesting.
Does the order matter in this case? Here we'd replay the entire set of WALEdits
for the duration specified and then store the collective outcome in HFiles.
All operations in the HLogs are idempotent, right?
> HLog replay tool that generates HFiles for use by LoadIncrementalHFiles.

> Just an idea I had. Might be useful for restore of a backup using the HLogs.
> This could an M/R (with a mapper per HLog file).
> The tool would get a timerange and a (set of) table(s). We'd pick the right
> HLogs based on time before the M/R job is started and then have a mapper per
> HLog file.
> The mapper would then go through the HLog, filter all WALEdits that didn't
> fit into the time range or are not any of the tables and then uses
> HFileOutputFormat to generate HFiles.
> Would need to indicate the splits we want, probably from a live table.
