Manage HBase snapshots using Cloudera Manager

For HBase services, you can use the Table Browser tab to view the HBase tables associated with a service on your cluster. You can view the currently saved snapshots for your tables, and delete or restore them.

From the HBase Table Browser tab, you can:

  • View the HBase tables for which you can take snapshots.
  • Initiate immediate (unscheduled) snapshots of a table.
  • View the list of saved snapshots currently maintained. These can include one-off immediate snapshots, as well as scheduled policy-based snapshots.
  • Delete a saved snapshot.
  • Restore from a saved snapshot.
  • Restore a table from a saved snapshot to a new table (Restore As).
