Description

• Start of HBase master fails due to the following error found in the log.

2014-11-11 20:25:58,860 WARN org.apache.hadoop.hbase.backup.HFileArchiver:

• All the files that hbase master was complaining about are created under an users user-id instead on "hbase" user resulting in incorrect access permission for the master to act on.
• Looks like this was due to bulk load done using LoadIncrementalHFiles program.
• HBASE-12052 is another scenario similar to this one.
