David Manning commented on HBASE-26720:
---------------------------------------
[~apurtell] I don't have a patch yet, but I do still plan to work on it. I am
not opposed to giving up ownership if anyone else already has a patch.
> ExportSnapshot should validate the source snapshot before copying files
> -----------------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: HBASE-26720
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-26720
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: snapshots
> Affects Versions: 0.99.0, 1.0.0, 3.0.0-alpha-1, 2.0.0
> Reporter: David Manning
> Assignee: David Manning
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 2.5.0, 1.7.2, 2.6.0, 3.0.0-alpha-3, 2.4.11
>
>
> Running {{ExportSnapshot}} with default parameters will copy the snapshot to
> a target location, and then use {{verifySnapshot}} to validate the integrity
> of the written snapshot. However, it is possible for the source snapshot to
> be invalid which leads to an invalid exported snapshot.
> We can validate the source snapshot before export.
> By default, we can validate the source snapshot unless the
> {{-no-target-verify}} parameter is set. We could also introduce a separate
> parameter for {{-no-source-verify}} if an operator wanted to validate the
> target but not validate the source for some reason, to provide some amount of
> backwards compatibility if that scenario is important.
