Veritas NetBackup™ for Hadoop Administrator's Guide

Limitations

Review the following limitations before you deploy the Hadoop plug-in:

  • Only RHEL and SUSE platforms are supported for Hadoop clusters and backup hosts.

  • Delegation Token authentication method is not supported for Hadoop clusters.

  • Hadoop plug-in does not capture Extended Attributes (xattrs) or Access Control Lists (ACLs) of an object during backup and hence these are not set on the restored files or folders.

  • For highly available Hadoop cluster, if fail-over happens during a backup or restore operation, the job fails.

  • If you cancel a backup job manually while the discovery job for a backup operation is in progress, the snapshot entry does not get removed from the Hadoop web graphical user interface (GUI).
