Ted Yu commented on HBASE-16509:
--------------------------------
Fixed in patch v3.
Checked the patch over in HBASE-15449 :
{code}
- List<String> unmatchedFamilies = new ArrayList<String>();
{code}
Due to difference in master branch, the above change was not applied by patch
command.
> Add option to LoadIncrementalHFiles which allows skipping unmatched column
> families

> During my work on HBASE-15449, there came the need for LoadIncrementalHFiles
> not to bail out on unmatched column families.
> The use case is like this:
> * table has two column families, A and B
> * full backup is taken on this table
> * column family B is dropped
> * more data is written to the table
> * incremental backup is performed on the table
> * user performs incremental restore using the latest backup
> Since column family B is gone, LoadIncrementalHFiles would fail with
> IOException for family mismatch.
> This issue is to add an option to LoadIncrementalHFiles so that bulk load can
> load hfiles for the existing column families.
