Lars Hofhansl commented on HBASE-6055:
--------------------------------------
Now that I started to get a bit more familiar with HDFS I am wondering whether
HDFS hardlinks (HDFS-3370) or even HDFS snapshots (HDFS-233, HDFS-2802) are not
a better avenue. We are looking for data consistency here, which would be
better tackled at the data layer.
Now... Both features are some ways off in HDFS (although we can probably push
these forward), so doing something in HBase first is probably needed, but IMHO
it should be something quick.
Lastly if we are considering this for backups HBASE-5547 should be a better
(simpler) solution.
Not trying to derail anything here, just making sure we do not invest a lot of
time in vain.
