Getting Temporary failure in storage backend exception with Janusgraph Java api and hbase

[dxtr-1-0]

Janusgraph version 0.6.1
Tinkerpop version 3.5.1
Hbase server version 2.0.2
Hbase client version 1.7.1

I am getting the following stack trace of exception while trying to open a graph.

[main] [BackendOperation]  : Temporary exception during backend operation [getConfiguration]. Attempting backoff retry.

Is this happening because of a version mismatch or is this some other known issue? any help is appreciated.
This happens when I try to open the graph with some configuration

        graph = JanusGraphFactory.open(configuration);

Sounds like a version issue, indeed. Did you try the janusgraph-1.0.0 release, which has the hbase-client-2.5.0 included (so, the same major version as your HBase cluster)?
