I agree that Michael's instructions look a lot friendlier. It's been a while since I looked at this part of the book and it is much less daunting now. > HBase will work with the next Hadoop release, 0.22.0, when it comes > out [2]. The current state of things is temporary (I believe). Sorry > for the inconvenience. Good to know. I had somehow gotten the idea that there was a compatibility issue with 0.22 that might not get resolved, but I must have been confused. Or maybe there was a question about whether Hadoop 0.22 would stabilize before the HBase 0.92 branch? In any case, I apologize for making things sound worse than they are. joe
