HBaseSink HDP 2.3.2 HBase client version

[#1]

We recently upgraded from HDP 2.1.4 to HDP 2.3.2 and I have some Flume agents that use HBaseSink to publish logs to HBase. After the upgrade I've been receiving the error found below. I compiled my customer event serializer for my events against HBase version 1.1.2.2.3.2.0-2950 and Hadoop version 2.7.1.2.3.2.0-2950 but something still isn't right. Is there something special I need to do to get this working? HDP 2.3.2 contains HBase 1.1.2 + Hadoop 2.7.1 + Flume 1.5.2

org.apache.hadoop.hbase.client.Put.setWriteToWAL(Z)V

That is Flume client issue, version is not compatible with HBase 1.1.2. Make sure you use right version of Flume and if it comes with HBDP 2.3.2, then issue should be raised on Flume/HBase incompatibility.
