`hbase.rootdir` configuration from job setup not honoured

Vote count:

I was running map reduce jobs on HDFS, on data present in hbase tables. WHile I was playing with configurations, I observed this.

conf.set( "hbase.rootdir", "hdfs://" + hdfsRootNodeIp + ":" + hdfsRootPort + "/" + hbaseDirectoryName );

For the above code, I understand that hbaseDirectoryName should be the folder created on HDFS. I have created /hbase directory, and jobs are running fine. While I tried with some junk names during MR job setup, even then map-reduce jobs went through successfully, without throwing an error.

Can somebody explain the behaviour for me please?
