This is a nice topic. Let's put it on the ref guide. Hbase on Azure FS is GA, and there has already been some work for supporting HBase on the Hadoop native driver. >From this thread, my gathering is that, HBase should run on HDFS, MaprFS, IBM GPFS, Azure WASB (and maybe Isilon, etc).
I had a old write up of all the interaction points between HBase and the underlying FS for semantic guarantees (atomic namespace rename, recover lease, sync / flush ) etc. If anyone interested, I can try to dig it up.
