Jesse Yates commented on HBASE-5547:
------------------------------------

bq. The failure was due to IllegalArgumentException shown above.

Yeah, it seems to be breaking all the tests. Its really odd that HDFS goes to the DistributedFileSystem to do the listStatus when its a local filesystem - seems wrong.

> This came up in a discussion I had with Stack.
> 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.
