This is a proposed procedure for Hbase table backups in a secure Hbase cluster. Requirements:
- Live backups (cannot disable table or take hbase offline)
- Self-Service (non-HBase user can backup/restore their own data)
- Automatable procedure (Oozie controlled)
- On secure cluster (cluster with world non-readable /hbase folder)
- Supports off cluster backups ** Backup location might not have an installed instance of Hbase, just HDFS ** Backup location does not have credentials for hbase user
