public class HFileLink
extends FileLink
```
HFileLink describes a link to an hfile. An hfile can be served from a region or from the hfile archive directory (/hbase/.archive) HFileLink allows to access the referenced hfile regardless of the location where it is.
Searches for hfiles in the following order and locations:
- /hbase/table/region/cf/hfile
- /hbase/.archive/table/region/cf/hfile
The link checks first in the original path if it is not present it fallbacks to the archived path.

  - LINK_NAME_REGEX
```
public static final String LINK_NAME_REGEX
```
    A non-capture group, for HFileLink, so that this can be embedded. The HFileLink describe a link to an hfile in a different table/region and the name is in the form: table=region-hfile.
    Table name is ([a-zA-Z_0-9][a-zA-Z_0-9.-]*), so '=' is an invalid character for the table name. Region name is ([a-f0-9]+), so '-' is an invalid character for the region name. HFile is ([0-9a-f]+(?:_SeqId_[0-9]+_)?) covering the plain hfiles (uuid) and the bulk loaded (_SeqId_[0-9]+_) hfiles.
