Vladimir Rodionov commented on HBASE-16574:
-------------------------------------------
One more note on B&R limitations (Chapter 85 from Ref Guide)

Chapter 85. Limitations of the Backup and Restore Utility
•Only one active backup session is supported. HBASE-16391 will introduce
multiple-backup sessions support.
•Both backup and restore can’t be canceled while in progress. ( HBASE-15997,
HBASE-15998).
•No supported for bulk-loaded data ( HBASE-14417).
•Single backup destination only supported. HBASE-15476 will introduce multiple-
backup destinations support.
•There is no merge for incremental images (HBASE-14135). This can increase
restore time. Users will need to periodically execute full backups to be able
to restore data faster.
•Only superuser (hbase) is allowed to perform backup/restore, which can be a
problem for security (HBASE-14138).
•During incremental backup ALL WAL data will be copied over to backup
destination, including data from tables that are not being backed up. This
functionality is a performance and security limitation. HBASE-14141 will
introduce more granular copy WAL implementation.

We implemented some features, so the following must be removed:
