Vinayak Hegde updated HBASE-28992:
----------------------------------
Description:
As part of PITR, WALs are retained to support recovery to a specific timestamp.
However, once WALs fall outside the retention window or are no longer
referenced by any restore points, they become redundant and consume unnecessary
disk space.
This task aims to add logic that identifies and safely deletes such WALs,
ensuring optimal storage usage without compromising recovery capabilities.
was:Implement a "cleanup" command to allow users to free up storage by
removing data older than a specified time period.
> Add cleanup logic to remove WALs no longer required for PITR
