Hi all,
I will briefly describe the problem again. In the installation
requirements page of HBase -
http://hadoop.apache.org/hbase/docs/current/api/overview-summary.html#requirements,
it is given that we should apply patch HDFS-630. It is also mentioned that
this HBase version is only for Hadoop 0.20.x. But the latest patch of
HDFS-630 is for Hadoop 0.21. There is a patch for Cloudera's version of
Hadoop 0.20 but not for Apache Hadoop 0.20.x. How can I get around this
problem of finding the right patch?
Thank you.
Regards,
Raghava.

oops, sorry, by really required I meant, would that problem arise only in
any special situations or is it required for normal operations also.
Regards,
Raghava.
