P.S. Release 0.2.0 has over 250 issues resolved [1] since the branch for 0.1 hbase was made. Be warned that hbase 0.2.0 is not backward compatible with the hbase 0.1 API. See [2] Izaak Rubins' notes on the high-level API differences between 0.1 and 0.2. For notes on how to migrate your 0.1 era hbase data to 0.2, see Izaak's migration guide [3]. To run 0.2.0 on hadoop 0.18.0, replace the 0.17.1 jars under $HBASE_HOME/lib with their 0.18.x equivalents and then recompile.
