Amit Kabra created HBASE-19106:
----------------------------------

             Summary: Backup self validation for its correctness.
                 Key: HBASE-19106
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-19106
             Project: HBase
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Amit Kabra


Backups are critical and if they don't work when we need them at the time of restore than they are not useful. We should do sanity test for each backup job we run that it is restorable and hence can be trusted.

A self validation feature can be added for the same to the backups where whenever a backup is run , once it finishes it will trigger a validation job that will do a sample restoration of the backed up data and will make sure that it compares well with actual data.
