Hi, In the dev thread [1], HBase developers are considering dropping support for Hadoop-1 in future releases 0.99, and HBase-1.0. This is a heads up, so that you can plan ahead if you are choosing to go with 0.96.x and 0.98.x releases.
Hadoop-2.2 was released last October, and it is superior in every way to Hadoop-1, so it is recommended that users switch to Hadoop-2. The support matrix for Hadoop versions can be found in [2], and future discussion in [3].
