keith-turner opened a new issue #1044: Write design document for system wide snapshots in Accumulo
URL: https://github.com/apache/accumulo/issues/1044
 
 
   Having the ability to snapshot an entire Accumulo instance and roll back to a previous snapshot seems very useful.  The following are some possible use cases :
   
    * Take a snapshot of Accumulo before upgrading.
    * Take nightly snapshots of Accumulo.  In the case of a catastrophic failure, roll back to the last snapshot.
     * Copy a snapshot from one cluster to another, similar to export and import table but for the whole system.  Could also possibly support copying the delta between two snapshots.
   
   An issue does not seem like a good place for capturing a change of this scale, which is why the issue about writing a design document.
