Lars Hofhansl commented on HBASE-8352: -------------------------------------- +1 on this approach and patch. (Making this configurable would be overkill, and entail a slew of other changes; it would also raise questions about all the other hardcoded directory names such .logs .oldlogs .archive, etc. If we want to tackle those, I'd suggest a different a jira.) > Rename '.snapshot' directory > ---------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-8352 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-8352 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Ted Yu > Assignee: Ted Yu > Priority: Critical > Fix For: 0.98.0, 0.94.7, 0.95.1 > > Attachments: 8352-0.94-v1.txt > > > Testing HBase Snapshot on top of Hadoop's Snapshot branch > (http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/hadoop/common/branches/HDFS-2802/), we found > that both features used '.snapshot' directory to store metadata. > HDFS (built from HDFS-2802 branch) doesn't allow paths with .snapshot as a > component > From discussion on d...@hbase.apache.org, (see > http://search-hadoop.com/m/kY6C3cXMs51), consensus was to rename '.snapshot' > directory in HBase so that both features can co-exist smoothly. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
