Dear Ozone Devs, We would like to start this discussion thread for the proposal to merge https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDDS-6517 Ozone Snapshots.
Ozone Snapshot feature allows us to take a point in time frozen image of the Ozone dataset. Initially this feature would allow snapshots to be taken at bucket granularity. Subsequently the feature can support Snapshots at Volume level as well as the whole Ozone Namespace level. Note that HDDS-6517 is a new feature such that it is mainly adding new code. Therefore, the risk is very low to the existing functionalities and features in Ozone. When the Snapshot feature is not used, it should cause no impact to the master. For more information, please check out Ozone Snapshot feature Jira (HDDS-6517) and feature wiki page here: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OZONE/Ozone+Snapshots If there are no objections for the merge, we could start the official vote. Thanks, Ozone Snapshot Team
