Summary: Clone snapshot with optional table level property overrides Key: HBASE-24590 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-24590 Project: HBase Issue Type: Improvement Components: API, master, shell Affects Versions: 1.6.0, 3.0.0-alpha-1, 2.3.0 Reporter: Bharath Vissapragada We have this use case where we try to clone from snapshots of a table with replication enabled. Cloning process just reads the TableDescriptor from the manifest and uses it for the new target table. In our case, the moment we clone it, replication kicks in and attempts to replicate table to peers but since the target table doesn't exist, it keeps throwing TNFE in a loop. I propose to add additional *optional* parameters to clone_snapshot that takes the target table property overrides (table leve/cf level). For example: {noformat} clone_snapshot 'snapshotName', 'tableName' # default clone_snapshot 'snapshotName', 'tableName', {NAME => 'f1', REPLICATION_SCOPE => 0 } clone_snapshot 'snapshotName, 'tableName', {MERGE_ENABLED => false} ..... {noformat} Implementation wise, this just adds a {{ModifyTableProcedure}} as a child procedure (if args are provided) for {{CloneSnapshotProcedure}} after {{CLONE_SNAPSHOT_ADD_TO_META}}, so we reuse most of the "modifyTable" code. Also, since clone puts the table in a disabled state, using "ModifyTableProcedure" shouldn't cause any issues. Thoughts? Is there any easier way to do it? -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
