Description

2011-10-31 00:09:09,549 FATAL org.apache.hadoop.hbase.master.HMaster: Unhandled exception. Starting shutdown.
java.io.FileNotFoundException: File does not exist: hdfs://C3S31:9000/hbase

Trunk won't start HBase unless /hbase is already present, after HBASE-4680 (and the silly error I made in HBASE-4510).
