-------------------------------------
I am getting same error.
My environment had hbase 94.18. After that I have installed hbase 98.9
version. It was working fine for both the cases. but when I once again want to
start 94.18 version. It gives me the following error:
FATAL org.apache.hadoop.hbase.master.HMaster: Unhandled exception. Starting
shutdown.

> Issue Type: Sub-task

>
> I think 1.0 should be rolling upgradable from 0.98 unless we break it
> intentionally for a specific reason. Unless there is such an issue, lets
> document that 1.0 and 0.98 should be rolling upgrade compatible.
> We should also test this before the 0.99 release.
