Zhihong Yu commented on HBASE-5547:
-----------------------------------

For the recovery cleanup, can we remember the start time of archiving and only delete archive files which are written after this start time ?
I like the /hbase/.archive/[table] structure.

> It would be nice if HBase could be notified that a backup is in progress (via a znode for example) and in that case either:
> 1. rename HFiles to be delete to <file>.bck
> 2. rename the HFiles into a special directory
> 3. rename them to a general trash directory (which would not need to be tied to backup mode).
> That way it should be able to get a consistent backup based on HFiles (HDFS snapshots or hard links would be better options here, but we do not have those).
> #1 makes cleanup a bit harder.
