Description

Encountered this while experimenting with the backup/restore functionality.

My setup was as follows:

Took several backups (Full1, inc2, inc3)
Changed an entry in the "lily_tenant_acme:LILY_SETTINGS" table
Attempt a restore (to test if my changed entry is reverted):

$ hbase restore -conf backup-conf.xml s3a://backuprestore-experiments/hbase backup_1709123740345 -t "lily_tenant_acme:LILY_SETTINGS" -m "lily_tenant_acme:LILY_SETTINGS-restored1" -o

24/02/28 16:15:41 WARN org.apache.hadoop.hbase.mapreduce.TableMapReduceUtil: The addDependencyJars(Configuration, Class<?>...) method has been deprecated since it is easy to use incorrectly. Most users should rely on addDependencyJars(Job) instead. See HBASE-8386 for more details.
24/02/28 16:15:58 WARN org.apache.hadoop.hbase.tool.LoadIncrementalHFiles: Skipping non-directory hdfs://hdfsns/user/lily/hbase-staging/bulk_output-lily_tenant_acme-LILY_SETTINGS-restored1-1709136941410/_SUCCESS
24/02/28 16:15:59 WARN org.apache.hadoop.hbase.backup.impl.RestoreTablesClient: Nothing has changed, so there is no need to restore 'lily_tenant_acme:LILY_SETTINGS'

Based on the final logging line, I presumed my restore operation had failed.

After some investigation however, I found that this was not the case: my change was reverted as expected.

Some code investigation learned me this log message is shown because I was restoring backup `inc3`, and there were no changes between `full1` and `inc3`.

I suggest rephrasing this log message, and changing it to a INFO level.
