----------------------------------------
Sorry did not get what I was asking. How it is used in cluster? How you will
open the HRegion? Opened at client end?
> Ability to open a HRegion from hdfs snapshot.

> Now that hdfs snapshots are here, we started to run our mapreduce jobs over
> hdfs snapshots. The thing is, hdfs snapshots are read-only point-in-time
> copies of the file system. Thus we had to modify the section of code that
> initialized the region internals in HRegion. We have to skip cleanup of
> certain directories if the HRegion is backed by a hdfs snapshot. I have a
> patch for trunk with some basic tests if folks are interested.
