Cannot connect to 0.20 HBase from an MR job running on a 0.19.0 version of 
Hadoop
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: HBASE-1691
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-1691
             Project: Hadoop HBase
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: client
    Affects Versions: 0.20.0
            Reporter: Eric Tschetter


When running MR jobs on 0.19.0 Hadoop, the hadoop core libraries get loaded by 
the classloader before 0.20 libraries included in the job jar.  HBaseClient 
makes a call to org.apache.hadoop.net.NetUtils.connect on line 305 which does 
not exist in previous versions of the hadoop jars and therefore results in 
NoSuchMethodErrors getting thrown.

As a simple workaround, you can replace the call

NetUtils.connect(socket, remoteId.getAddress(), 20000);

with

socket.connect(remoteId.getAddress(), 20000);

Note, however, that the javadoc on the NetUtils.connect() method makes mention 
of sun's implementation of stuff being less than wonderful, so the existence of 
this JIRA and this workaround should not be taken as meaning that this is 
actually a recommended solution.
