Eeek, means what? Replace jar files with the trunk version and the
reformat the whole Hadoop dfs (since I only have HBase on top of it)
and then reimporting all 4.5m documents? What are my chances that
there are more profound changes coming that require me to do that
again in the near future? Just asking.
Yes. Start over especially if you are running hbase only. That'd be
cleanest and quickest path to hbase TRUNK nirvana.
Regards your having to do this again in the near future, hopefully not,
but please allow for the fact that hbase is beta software. There is at
least one well-known means of losing data (HADOOP-1700) and probably
more that we have yet to discover. Because of this, we want to be clear
that folks should be prepared for data loss in their hbase installations.

P.S. Lars, there is an #hbase channel up on irc.freenode.net if you need
more immediate help or need suggestions for how you might faster
populate hbase.
