--------------------------------------

             Summary: When HMaster starts up it deletes the tmp snapshot 
directory, if you are exporting a snapshot at that time the job will fail
                 Key: HBASE-11352
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-11352
             Project: HBase
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 0.94.19
            Reporter: churro morales


We are exporting a very large table.  The export snapshot job takes 7+ days to 
complete.  During that time we had to bounce HMaster.  When HMaster 
initializes, it initializes the SnapshotManager which subsequently deletes the 
.tmp directory.

If this happens while the ExportSnapshot job is running the reference files get 
removed and the job fails.

Maybe we could put some sort of token such that when this job is running 
HMaster wont reset the tmp directory.
