Distcp-ing of files in the HBase directory is not generally recommended on a live cluster.

<para>The backup of the hbase directory from HDFS is copied onto the 'real' hbase directory via distcp. The act of copying these files
creates new HDFS metadata, which is why a restore of the NameNode edits from the time of the HBase backup isn't required for this kind of
restore, because it's a restore (via distcp) of a specific HDFS directory (i.e., the HBase part) not the entire HDFS file-system.
