   * Make sure the HBase root directory does not currently exist or has been initialized by a previous run of HBase. Sure fire solution is to just use Hadoop dfs to delete the HBase root and let HBase create and initialize the directory itself.

   * On Startup, Master says that you need to run the hbase migrations script. Upon running that, the hbase migrations script says no files in root directory.
  === Causes ===
   * HBase expects the root directory to either not exist, or to have already been initialized by hbase running a previous time. If you create a new directory for HBase using Hadoop DFS, this error will occur.
