 Hadoop 2.x is faster and includes features, such as short-circuit reads, which will help improve your HBase random read profile.
 Hadoop 2.x also includes important bug fixes that will improve your overall HBase experience.
 HBase 0.98 drops support for Hadoop 1.0, deprecates use of Hadoop 1.1+, and HBase 1.0 will not support Hadoop 1.x.
+
+Hadoop 3.x is still in early access releases and has not yet been sufficiently tested by the HBase community for production use cases.
