Philippe Laflamme created HBASE-21415:
-----------------------------------------
Summary: Admin#snapshot method documentation is misleading.
Key: HBASE-21415
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-21415
Project: HBase
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: documentation
Reporter: Philippe Laflamme
The documentation for the {{Admin#snapshot}} function is misleading in regards
to snapshot concurrency.
It currently states the following:
{quote}Only a single snapshot should be taken at a time for an instance of
HBase, or results may be undefined (you can tell multiple HBase clusters to
snapshot at the same time, but only one at a time for a single cluster).
{quote}
This seems to indicate that it's dangerous to run snapshots concurrently when
in fact the HBase master will simply run them sequentially (as per this Slack
thread [https://apache-hbase.slack.com/archives/C13K8NVAM/p1540994948005900)]
The suggested fix is to simply remove this entire sentence.
