Josh Elser commented on HBASE-16574:
------------------------------------
bq. Nit: On usage, the backupid exists nowhere in the system except as output
from the backup command? Later it is explained what it is which is helpful.
Also, later again it is explained that it does live as part of the backup
history. Could be good to call out these facts earlier.
I tried to consolidate some of the grammar between inter-related commands and
present them a little differently, but should go back and give it a re-read for
new words/terms we're defining.
bq. Could also say how long a backup is going to take roughly. Me as an
operator would be afraid to run a backup because I'd think the command could
run for ever on my 100 node cluster. Reading later in the manual, it seems that
it could start and return immediately and then I check in on status. Would be
good to surface some of that up here at start of doc. to allay the fears of the
poor operator.
This is good. Let me re-roll with these suggestions in mind.
Thanks, [~stack].
