--------------------------------------

             Summary: Explicit message for not allowed snapshot on meta tables
                 Key: HBASE-7480
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-7480
             Project: HBase
          Issue Type: Sub-task
            Reporter: Matteo Bertozzi
            Assignee: Matteo Bertozzi
            Priority: Minor
         Attachments: HBASE-7480-v0.patch

taking a snapshot of -ROOT- or .META. now results in something like this:
{code}
Illegal first character <46> at 0. User-space table names can only start with 'word characters': i.e. [a-zA-Z_0-9]
{code}

changing the message in something more human readable to inform that meta table are not supported
