title: Transport exception
body: <p>I'm trying to import happybase but gets the following error message while connecting.
  I have Hadoop pseudonode cluster and Hbase already running.
  Version of the components installed are as follows,
  Hadoop version - 1.0.4
  Hbase version - 0.94.4
  happybase -0.4</p>
  
  <p>Can someone have a look into the exceptions below and let me know, if any thrift specific settings or any guidance in getting this fixed.</p>
  
  <p>Thank you.</p>
