HBase 0.92.0 Master won't start

Hi, Can anyone please help me with this HBase error?

HBase version - hbase-0.92.0-candidate-4 (from Michael Stack's web page -
people.apache.org/~stack <http://people.apache.org/%7Estack>) Hadoop
version - Hadoop 1.0.0

I deleted everything in /home/hdp/hdfs and /home/hdp/tmp and
hadoop-1.0.0/logs and hbase-0.92.0/logs.

HDFS starts fine, I am able to put files and list them.
HBase gives the following error -

I think you want to change your hbase.rootdir (conf/hbase-site.xml)
from hdfs://10.40.0.156:9000.oldlogs to something like
hdfs://10.40.0.156:9000/oldlogs

Re: HBase 0.92.0 Master won't start

Actually hbase.rootdir must really be set to a directory, not just the
location of the Namenode. The appended ".oldlogs" is the master
opening up a path to where the old write ahead logs are archived but
"hdfs://10.40.0.156:9000" is not a folder.

At the very least OP should use this config if he wants to have hbase
write to the root of the FS (I do not recommend):
hdfs://10.40.0.156:9000/

This is the default one people normally use: hdfs://10.40.0.156:9000/hbase

I opened this jira since we should alert the user that his
hbase.rootdir is wrong:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-5327
