stack updated HADOOP-2668:
--------------------------

    Summary: [hbase] Documentation and improved logging so fact that hbase now 
requires migration comes as less of a surprise  (was: [hbase] After 2643, 
cluster won't start if FS was created by an older hbase version)

I should have said, in spite of the exception, I did not get that I was 
supposed to run the migration.  The thing just looks broke.  My guess is that 
users will think the same.

Agreed, to move past r613469, running migration is needed and yes, lets make 
this issue be about making the migration easier to find and run -- add to 
bin/hbase -- and about documentation ('Getting Started' doc., incompatible 
changes in the release notes, IRC, etc.).

Would help if there was a prefatory message that script is verifying the 
cluster is down.
