[jira] Created: (HBASE-2489) Make the "Filesystem needs to be upgraded" error message more useful.

Make the "Filesystem needs to be upgraded" error message more useful.
---------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: HBASE-2489
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-2489
             Project: Hadoop HBase
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: util
            Reporter: Benoit Sigoure
            Assignee: Benoit Sigoure
            Priority: Critical
         Attachments: 0001-Improve-the-error-message-File-system-needs-to-be-up.patch

The other day, when starting HBase I got this error:
{noformat}
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.
        at org.apache.hadoop.hbase.util.FSUtils.checkVersion(FSUtils.java:187)
{noformat}
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:
{noformat}

org.apache.hadoop.hbase.util.FileSystemVersionException: File system needs to be upgraded.  You have version null and I want version 7.  Run the '${HBASE_HOME}/bin/hbase migrate' script.
