Hi Ted.
Thanks for the reply.

I understand that, but setting the snapshot owner should be really decided 
based on hbase security authentication set to Kerberos or not?

IMO it should be related to ACL not Kerberos. May be I am missing something and 
possibly wrong here.

From description of hbase.security.authentication:

Controls whether or not secure authentication is enabled for HBase.
Possible values are 'simple' (no authentication), and 'kerberos'.
