Anoop Sam John commented on HBASE-25891:
----------------------------------------
Is there a new design doc somewhere? Instead of system table, where/how the
WAL files are being tracked? When the cleaning is possible finally (for WAL
files). When a full backup is taken next? Ya a detailed doc for backup (with
the changes now you are doing) would be a great start. May be its already there
but am missing.
> Remove dependence storing WAL filenames for backup

> This has several problems
> # Ever growing rows of wal's sourced for incremental backup is maintained
> and never cleaned up.
> # Unnecessary to have wal log listed for performing incremental backup or
> for performing logcleaner.
> # No support for rsgroup. Hence all rsgroups which doesn't have backup
> enabled tables, WAL's are retained forever.
