Description

HBase 0.90.0 is a difficult release as it either needs CDH or a patched Hadoop (with append) to work. The Apache tarballs won't do and HBase will not start.

One way possible is to deploy the Apache Hadoop 0.20.2 tarball and then override the core jar with the one supplied by HBase. Since HBase relies on Hadoop to be setup by the Whirr service we would need some surgery that would imply service ordering.
