Description

Currently Flume distribution bundles the following in the lib directory:

• hbase-0.92.1.jar
• hadoop-core-1.0.1.jar
• zookeeper-3.4.3.jar

Instead it should follow the same mechanism that is used for HDFS sink - where the necessary jars are picked up dynamically from the set HBASE_HOME, preferably using the hbase scripts that enumerate it's classpath.
