sugandha, you should send hbase questions to hbase-user@, they should be able to tell you precisely why over there.
(and btw, common-user and core-user are the exactly same mailing list, so we are getting your emails twice, no need to forward the email you sent to core-user again to common-user. The proper list to use is common-user, the other name, core-user, is an older name that is no longer used, it just forwards to common-user).
