 HBase can no longer read the deprecated WAL files written in the Apache Hadoop Sequence File format. The hbase.regionserver.hlog.reader.impl and hbase.regionserver.hlog.writer.impl configuration entries should be set to use the Protobuf based WAL reader / writer classes. This implementation has been the default since HBase 0.96, so legacy WAL files should not be a concern for most downstream users.
 
+Starting from 2.6.0, the hbase.regionserver.hlog.reader.impl and hbase.regionserver.hlog.writer.impl configuration entries are removed since the only valid values are protobuf based reader/writer. Setting them in _hbase-site.xml_ will have no real effect.
+
 A clean cluster shutdown should ensure there are no WAL files. If you are unsure of a given WAL file's format you can use the `hbase wal` command to parse files while the HBase cluster is offline. In HBase 2.0+, this command will not be able to read a Sequence File based WAL. For more information on the tool see the section <<hlog_tool.prettyprint>>.
