chenning commented on HBASE-2489:
---------------------------------

Hi All, I met this problem in my environment. Fortunately, I found this has been fixed here, as a freshman, I don't know how to apply this fix into my environment since I only see a patch file which can't be applied to my environment, any suggestion?  Thank you.

> The other day, when starting HBase I got this error:

> 2010-04-23 09:38:14,847 ERROR org.apache.hadoop.hbase.master.HMaster: Failed to start master
> org.apache.hadoop.hbase.util.FileSystemVersionException: File system needs to be upgraded. Run the '${HBASE_HOME}/bin/hbase migrate' script.

> I was puzzled until I realized, after adding extra debug statements in the code, that I forgot to properly set {{hbase.rootdir}} after re-deploying my dev environment.  I think the message above was misleading and I'm proposing a trivial patch to make it a little bit better:
