---------------------------------
Summary: HBase in-cluster backup based on the HDFS hardlink
Key: HBASE-5940
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-5940
Project: HBase
Issue Type: New Feature
Reporter: Liyin Tang
Assignee: Liyin Tang
The motivation of introducing the HardLink operation/api in HDFS is to get a
full copy of the file without copying the bytes.
So users/applications can create multiple hard links to the same source file
instantly.
And HBase can make full use of the hard-link to generate the in-cluster backup
snapshot instantly.
