Ted Yu created HBASE-16579: ------------------------------ Summary: Concurrent backup / restore support Key: HBASE-16579 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-16579 Project: HBase Issue Type: Improvement Reporter: Ted Yu
Currently we take exclusive lock on hbase:backup table in backup / restore procedures. There is only one backup or restore operation which can run at given time. We should consider using shared lock on hbase:backup table in the procedures so that concurrent backup / restore operations can proceed. The concurrency is useful when table sets don't overlap. We may devise other mechanism(s) when there is overlap among the table sets. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
