Ted Yu commented on HBASE-7546:
-------------------------------
Table split modifies table metadata. I tend to think that a write lock is more
appropriate in this scenario.
Table snapshot, on the other hand, doesn't change table metadata. A read lock
would fit.
This way, we achieve mutual exclusion between the two operations.

> As discussed in the parent issue HBASE-7305, we should be coordinating
> between splits and table operations to ensure that they don't happen at the
> same time. In this issue we will acquire shared read locks for region splits.
