stack commented on HBASE-16574:
-------------------------------
Did these get addressed?
{code}
Nit: On usage, the backupid exists nowhere in the system except as output from
the backup command? Later it is explained what it is which is helpful. Also,
later again it is explained that it does live as part of the backup history.
Could be good to call out these facts earlier.
Could also say how long a backup is going to take roughly. Me as an operator
would be afraid to run a backup because I'd think the command could run for
ever on my 100 node cluster. Reading later in the manual, it seems that it
could start and return immediately and then I check in on status. Would be good
to surface some of that up here at start of doc. to allay the fears of the poor
operator.
