> This is interesting... if I pass a set and a table as command lets me do, it runs the backup twice. I was sort of expecting one backup dir with all content in it. No biggie. Here is the command I ran (the -set included the table so the tool behavior avoids backup overwrite).
> ./hbase/bin/hbase --config ~/conf_hbase backup create full hdfs://ve0524.halxg.cloudera.com:8020/backup clicks -set s

> The command I ran was $ ./hbase/bin/hbase --config ~/conf_hbase backup create full clicks I'm missing the backup location which probably explains the above. I'd think the tool would verify the command before going ahead and running a mapreduce job?

> ... does the tables 'option' not take a hyphen but all others do? Most of the time options are delimited by space but not always....

> What about consistency in errors, that sometimes commands are single letter, other times words, that descriptions in usage are not what is on the Option, that we do Options but don't use it to do Usage/help, and others.
