Description

While configuring the HdfsBackupRepository to use Google compute storage, I misconfigured the permissions on my bucket. Unfortunately, the exception that would have pointed me in the right direction gets squelched by the finally block in createSnapshot:

    } finally {
      if (!success) {
        backupRepo.deleteDirectory(snapshotDirPath);
      }
    }

If there's a permissions issue, then the deleteDelectory is going to fail and raise another exception from the finally block, which swallows the original exception. For example:

ERROR - 2017-01-10 18:38:52.650; [c:gettingstarted s:shard1 r:core_node1 x:gettingstarted_shard1_replica1] org.apache.solr.handler.SnapShooter; Exception while creating snapshot

    at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:745)

That's merely the symptom and not the actual cause of the failure.
