-=== Building against HBase 0.96-0.98
-
-HBase 0.96.x will run on Hadoop 1.x or Hadoop 2.x.
-HBase 0.98 still runs on both, but HBase 0.98 deprecates use of Hadoop 1.
-HBase 1.x will _not_                run on Hadoop 1.
-In the following procedures, we make a distinction between HBase 1.x builds and the awkward process involved building HBase 0.96/0.98 for either Hadoop 1 or Hadoop 2 targets.
-
-You must choose which Hadoop to build against.
-It is not possible to build a single HBase binary that runs against both Hadoop 1 and Hadoop 2.
-Hadoop is included in the build, because it is needed to run HBase in standalone mode.
-Therefore, the set of modules included in the tarball changes, depending on the build target.
-To determine which HBase you have, look at the HBase version.
-The Hadoop version is embedded within it.
-
-Maven, our build system, natively does not allow a single product to be built against different dependencies.
-Also, Maven cannot change the set of included modules and write out the correct _pom.xml_ files with appropriate dependencies, even using two build targets, one for Hadoop 1 and another for Hadoop 2.
-A prerequisite step is required, which takes as input the current _pom.xml_s and generates Hadoop 1 or Hadoop 2 versions using a script in the _dev-tools/_ directory, called _generate-hadoopX-poms.sh_                where [replaceable]_X_ is either `1` or `2`.
-You then reference these generated poms when you build.
-For now, just be aware of the difference between HBase 1.x builds and those of HBase 0.96-0.98.

 Before the semantic versioning scheme pre-1.0, HBase tracked either Hadoop's versions (0.2x) or 0.9x versions. If you are into the arcane, checkout our old wiki page on link:http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/Hbase/HBaseVersions[HBase Versioning] which tries to connect the HBase version dots. Below sections cover ONLY the releases before 1.0.

-.HBase 0.96.x was EOL'd, September 1st, 2014
-NOTE: Do not deploy 0.96.x  Deploy at least 0.98.x. See link:https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-11642[EOL 0.96].
-
 You will have to stop your old 0.94.x cluster completely to upgrade. If you are replicating between clusters, both clusters will have to go down to upgrade. Make sure it is a clean shutdown. The less WAL files around, the faster the upgrade will run (the upgrade will split any log files it finds in the filesystem as part of the upgrade process). All clients must be upgraded to 0.96 too.
 
 The API has changed. You will need to recompile your code against 0.96 and you may need to adjust applications to go against new APIs (TODO: List of changes).
