Description

The snapshot related methods are not well declared, we missed several methods which has the restoreAcl parameter. And also, the snapshotAsync method returns nothing, which is bit strange.

And we can use default methods to reduce the code in HBaseAdmin and also the new Admin implementation in the future.
