> We recently saw this: If user inadvertently starts the HBase Master after 
> deploying new HBase binaries (any version that supports namespaces), the 
> HMaster will start the migration to PBs the the {{hbase.version}} file per 
> HBASE-5453 and that will write a new version file PB-serialized but with the 
> old version number. Further restarts of the master will fail because the 
> hbase version file has been migrated to PBs and there will be version 
> mismatch. The right approach should be to fail safe the master if we find an 
> old {{hbase.version}} file in order to force user to run upgrade tool.
