Description

One part that is missing in the documentation is the need to add hbase-site.xml on the client side (the client hadoop cluster). First, we need to arrive at the minimally required client setting to connect to the right hbase cluster. Then, we need to document it so that users know exactly what to do to configure the cluster to use the timeline service v.2.
