Hello,
I found pig-0.8.1 included classes of Hbase-0.90.0.
My question is:
1. If I replace Hbase-0.90.3 with Hbase-0.90.0, could pig-0.8.1 work normally?
2. why Hbase class files are included in pig-0.8.1 jar ball?
Thank you.

Yes, you can a different version of HBase provided it's >= 0.89.

To answer question 2: because people got extremely confused and upset when
we told them they have to actually put hbase on their classpath to talk to
hbase.... They want it to work out of the box.

1. The HBase client from any 0.90.x should be compatible across all 0.90.x
versions.
2. No idea.
