Description

Here's what I see in a new (0.94.12) client connecting to an old (0.94.7) cluster and doing a "list" in the shell:

ERROR: org.apache.hadoop.ipc.RemoteException: java.io.IOException: java.lang.NoSuchMethodException: org.apache.hadoop.hbase.ipc.HMasterInterface.getTableNames()
	at java.lang.Class.getMethod(Class.java:1624)
	at org.apache.hadoop.hbase.ipc.SecureRpcEngine$Server.call(SecureRpcEngine.java:293)
	at org.apache.hadoop.hbase.ipc.HBaseServer$Handler.run(HBaseServer.java:1426)
