Nicolas Spiegelberg commented on HBASE-2070:
--------------------------------------------

Anyone have a problem with changing the name from oldLogDir/.oldlogs to archiveDir/.logarchive?  This was causing me much confusion when surveying the code for HBASE-2312.

> For replication we need to be able to service clusters that are a few hours behind in edits. For example, after distcp'ing a snapshot of the DB to another cluster, we need to make sure we get the edits that came in after the snapshot was taken.
> I plan the following changes:
> - Instead of deleting HLogs during a log roll or after a log split, move them to another folder where all logs should be aggregated.
> - Add a new configuration for how old a log can be. For a normal cluster I think of a default of 2 hours. For replication you may want to set it much higher.
> - Create a new thread in the master that checks for logs older than configured time and that deletes them.
> I also fancy having the deletion time to be configurable while the cluster is running. I'm also thinking of adding a way to tell the cluster to replay edits on itself.
