Description
The classpaths are backwards in CDH3u2 with hbase where the hadoop libs, metrics.properties, etc take precedence over the hbase paths.
See https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-4854
also https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-5054
This leads to strangeness like setting hbase configuration in /etc/hadoop/conf/hadoop-metrics.properties and NOT /etc/hbase/conf/hadoop-metrics.properties
