>             Project: HBase
>          Issue Type: Bug
>    Affects Versions: 2.0.0, 1.1.5, 1.2.2, 0.98.20

> In hbase-default.xml (and also in HBase Book), the description of hbase.client.retries.number is:
> {quote}
> Maximum retries.  Used as maximum for all retryable operations such as the getting of a cell's value, starting a row update, etc.  Retry interval is a rough function based on hbase.client.pause.  At first we retry at this interval but then with backoff, we pretty quickly reach  retrying every ten seconds.  See HConstants#RETRY_BACKOFF for how the backup ramps up.  Change this setting and hbase.client.pause to suit your workload.
> {quote}
> However, the semantic of this conf is confusing and different in various branches. After HBASE-14521, in master it means "the number of RETRIES", but in all the other branches it still means "the number of TRIES".
> So I think we need make the doc clearly and tell users what it is in 0.98/1.x and what it will be from 2.0
