Stephen Chu commented on HDFS-4897: ----------------------------------- bq. Can you explain what you mean by "restore a subtree using snapshots"? Currently there is no restore supported. If you want to restore some data, you need to copy, which should follow the current copy semantics. I meant using copy to restore some data.
