HBASE 0.94.1 compatibility with hadoop

Question

I am new to HBASE and HADOOP and would require available compatible versions of hbase and hadoop to run my experiments.

The current stable version of at "http://apache.techartifact.com/mirror/hbase/" is hbase-0.94.1 . Can anybody kindly tell which version of hadoop should I use so that there is no compatibility issue and no future data loss.

Please suggest from the hadoop and hbase releases that are currently available online.

below are the sites I am using for downloading these releases

If you want to be sure about the compatibility of the Hadoop and HBase distribution you are using, you might consider using the Apache Bigtop project or the Cloudera CDH package.

BigTop :

The primary goal of Bigtop is to build a community around the packaging and interoperability testing of Hadoop-related projects. This includes testing at various levels (packaging, platform, runtime, upgrade, etc...) developed by a community with a focus on the system as a whole, rather than individual projects.

Cloudera :

CDH consists of 100% open source Apache Hadoop plus nine other open source projects from the Hadoop ecosystem. CDH is thoroughly tested and certified to integrate with the widest range of operating systems and hardware, databases and data warehouses, and business intelligence and ETL systems.
