bq. If the snapshot is successful, the command will return 0. Otherwise, it
will return a non-zero value.
That is 100% not correct. If the client hit the operation timeout or lose the
connection with the server you'll get a failure (non-zero value), which you are
not able to interpret. The snapshot may be created or may not be created.

Unknown state after timeout/connection errors are a problem with a bunch of the
shell operations. Do we need to have a specified return code for them so that
the docs can call it out as a special case before adding examples at all under
HBASE-11655?
