title: hbase 0.92 and opentsdb compatibility
body: <p>I am trying to migrate opentsdb to use hbase 0.92, since for some reason hbase 0.90.x, which uses a branch-versioned hadoop core jar, does not play well with any release of hadoop. Sadly after I configured and hooked up everything, I constantly got the following error in hbase's log</p>

  <p>Is it because asynchbase-1.2 does not play well with hbase 0.92. Can someone please help?</p>
