Ted Yu commented on HBASE-8352:
-------------------------------

Patch v2 has the following in checkSnapshotSupport():
{code}
    if (fs.exists(oldSnapshotDir)) {
      LOG.error("Snapshots from an earlier release were found under: " + 
oldSnapshotDir);
      LOG.error("Please rename the directory as " + 
HConstants.SNAPSHOT_DIR_NAME);
    }
{code}
What additional warning should be added ?
                
> Rename '.snapshot' directory

> Testing HBase Snapshot on top of Hadoop's Snapshot branch 
> (http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/hadoop/common/branches/HDFS-2802/), we found 
> that both features used '.snapshot' directory to store metadata.
> HDFS (built from HDFS-2802 branch) doesn't allow paths with .snapshot as a 
> component
> From discussion on [email protected], (see 
> http://search-hadoop.com/m/kY6C3cXMs51), consensus was to rename '.snapshot' 
> directory in HBase so that both features can co-exist smoothly.
