Additionally I see the following error in the HBase Master logs

Subject: HBase Issue after Namenode Formating

Hi All,

I have been using HBase 0.94.1 with Hadoop 0.23.1. I had the complete setup in 
a pseudo-distributed mode, and was running fine.

Today I had to reset and reformat the namenode and clear all the data as well 
to have a fresh run, but since then Hbase is not working as expected. For 
instance I am able to list the tables but cannot create new one, it reports 
that Master is initializing, as seen from the exception below

hbase(main):004:0> create 'testrun','samplecf'

ERROR: org.apache.hadoop.hbase.PleaseHoldException: 
org.apache.hadoop.hbase.PleaseHoldException: Master is initializing
        at 
org.apache.hadoop.hbase.master.HMaster.checkInitialized(HMaster.java:1626)
        at org.apache.hadoop.hbase.master.HMaster.createTable(HMaster.java:1154)
        at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method)
        at

        at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:597)
        at

        at 
org.apache.hadoop.hbase.ipc.HBaseServer$Handler.run(HBaseServer.java:1400)

In order to resolve this I have even tried to delete the root so that hbase can 
recreate it fresh. HBase is able to recreate the ROOT but this issue persists. 
I am also not able to connect via native java client, as it does not get 
reference of the Master.

Calling for help, as I think I am missing something here.

Thanks and Regards
Pankaj Misra
