Anoop Sam John commented on HBASE-15590:
----------------------------------------
bq.public boolean preBackupTables
What is the use of this return type. Seems that will be unused. I can not see
in MasterCoprocessorHost the return of the pre hook is used. The bypass usage
is enough? Or we should return a Pair as the real op doing? This is inline
with preScannerOpen() and all.. To pre hook we pass the type and table names.
Other details also needed? Like request.getTargetRootDir()?
For post hook, we need to pass the Pair result of call master.backupTables ()?
So we need Global Admin privilege to do the backup op. Table admin can do
back up of that table?
