Description

The HBase Handler's support for running over snapshots attempts to copy a number of hbase internal configurations into a job configuration.

Some of these configuration keys are removed in HBase 1.0.0+ and the current implementation will fail when copying the resultant null value into a new configuration. Additionally, some internal configs added in later HBase 0.98 versions are not respected.

Instead, setup should check for the presence of the keys it expects and then make the new configuration consistent with them.
