-------------------------------------
I'd like to take this issue. The incremental backup path scans {{hbase:meta}}
and writes one {{.regioninfo}} file per region, but restore only consumes the
table descriptor and HFiles. I plan to keep copying the table descriptor, stop
writing and carrying {{.regioninfo}} files, and add a regression test covering
incremental backup and restore without them.

> Key: HBASE-29798
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-29798
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: backup&restore
> Reporter: Hernan Romer
> Priority: Major
>
> Incremental backups will copy the table region information to the backup
> destination. This can actually take hours to do, and the region information
> doesn't seem to be used anywhere in the restore process.
> We can greatly speed up the backup process by simply removing this.
