See Section 1.3.1.2 here http://hbase.apache.org/book/notsoquick.html#requirements. Look for "Michael Noll has written a detailed blog, Building an Hadoop 0.20.x version for HBase 0.90.2, on how to build an Hadoop from branch-0.20-append. Recommended." > Why does hbase include a hadoop-core.jar? The instructions say I should > replace it, so why am I given it in the first place? > You have to replace it if you are running on an hadoop that is other than an exact match to the jar we ship with (If you are doing standalone mode or if you are running unit tests, the jar is needed since we have a bunch of Hadoop dependencies from our Configuration to UI to MapReduce to Connection to HDFS etc.) Again, I apologize for the fact that this is less-than smooth sailing. HBase project is in a bit of an awkward spot. We're trying to put the best face on it. If you have any suggestions for how best we might this, we are all ears. Yours, St.Ack
