Description

In HBase Docs(http://hbase.apache.org/book.html#ops.snapshots), Export Snapshot example specified remote dir as: "hdfs://remotehdfs:8020/hbase"
It doesnt really specifies what is the logical meaning of that directory.
After struggling with trying to clone snapshot on remote cluster: http://search-hadoop.com/m/YGbbuzfA42JAwbh1
I analyzed that export dir should be <hbase.rootdir> . I think, we should specify this requirement in HBase Snapshot docs: http://hbase.apache.org/book.html#ops.snapshots

PS: CDH uses /hbase while HDP uses /apps/hbase/data. Also, user can configure any other directory as hbase.rootdir.
Hence, the documentation should not say "/hbase".
