> bq. HBCK tool from an earlier release against an HBase 2.0+ cluster will 
> destructively alter said cluster in unrecoverable ways.
> Footnote or callout that says something like "Unfortunately we are unable to 
> distinguish an HBCK client so cannot put in place guards against destructive 
> HBCK changes....." .... probably too much for this startup section on reread 
> of what I've written here.
> bq. As of HBase 2.0, HBCK is a read-only tool that can report the status of 
> some non-public system internals. You should not rely on the format nor 
> content of these internals to remain consistent across HBase releases.
> Ugh. We need HBCK2 and a pointer here to it. Will do in a follow-on.
> {quote}
> then update the upgrade section to point to the docs
