Description

I'm trying to run the full battery of tests, and one particular snag is that HBase 0.89 doesn't work with the default Hadoop 0.20.205. The tests end up hanging forever - that's because HBase 0.89 uses an older API than Hadoop 0.20.205 provides. Switching to 0.20.2 gets past that hang, though there are still test failures, albeit ones I'm also seeing with HBase 0.90 tests.
