How can I downgrade HBase to 0.98 from HDP 2.3?

[#1]

I support an application that was written to HBase 0.98. I'd like to be able to utilize the latest HDP 2.3 but still be able to downgrade just this one app in my stack to a particular version. Is this possible? I know I could facilitate this through the package management on the box, YUM & RPM, but I'd rather be able to drive this from Ambari if possible.

It is not possible in Ambari, what you can do is load this one app into HBase on Yarn "Slider", there you can run multiple versions of HBase on top of Yarn. This will be a secondary HBase cluster. https://slider.incubator.apache.org/docs/examples.html
