hbasesnapshot-script

Take single table snapshot

Usage: bash take_snapshot.sh <hbase_table_name>

Table all table snapshot

There are two ways to snapshot all tables.

1. fast mode With the fast mode, a file with the command list is generated. The file is then passed to hbase shell. In this case, error handling is not possible in the event of a snapshot failure.

   Usage: bash take_snapshot.sh allfast

2. slow mode
   In slow mode, the command is launched for each table with a separate shell. If a command fails, the script ends. This is a very slow process, as hbase shell has to be re-launched for each table.

   Usage: bash take_snapshot.sh allslow

Take multi table snapshot

For snapshot of multiple tables. Simply prepare a file (for example table.txt) containing the table list you want to take the snapshot and pass the complete path of file to the script.

Usage: bash take_snapshot.sh multislow /file/tables/list/tables.txt Usage: bash take_snapshot.sh multifast /file/tables/list/tables.txt

Generate file with snapshots list

Usage: bash take_snapshot.sh generatesnapshotlist

Generate file with tables list

Usage: bash take_snapshot.sh generatetablelist

Restore all snapshots

Usage: bash restore_snapshot.sh restoreAll tableSnapshotsList.txt
