Jesse Yates commented on HBASE-6055: ------------------------------------ @Lars even with the HDFS patches, we should have a way to logically group/backup/restore snapshots. IMO hardlinks with HBase snapshots is the way to go, since we can do it with zero downtime, whereas HDFS snapshots require some (though admittedly small) downtime. HBSE-5547 is basically just a hack around hardlinks. > Snapshots in HBase 0.96 > ----------------------- > > Key: HBASE-6055 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-6055 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: client, master, regionserver, zookeeper > Reporter: Jesse Yates > Assignee: Jesse Yates > Fix For: 0.96.0 > > Attachments: Snapshots in HBase.docx > > > Continuation of HBASE-50 for the current trunk.
