Description

In hbase-daemons.sh, description of the default backup-master file path is wrong

#   HBASE_BACKUP_MASTERS File naming remote hosts.
#     Default is ${HADOOP_CONF_DIR}/backup-masters

it says the default backup-masters file path is at a hadoop-conf-dir, but shouldn't this be HBASE_CONF_DIR?

also adding following lines to conf/hbase-env.sh would be helpful

# File naming hosts on which backup HMaster will run.  $HBASE_HOME/conf/backup-masters by default.
export HBASE_BACKUP_MASTERS=${HBASE_HOME}/conf/backup-masters
