I updated my hadoop cluster from 0.20.2 to higher version
0.21.0 because of MAPREDUCE-1286, and now I have problem running a Hbase on
it.
I saw the 0.21.0 version is marked as "unstable, unsupported, does
not include security".
My question is that can I upgrade the cluster from 0.21.0 to a newer
version say 0.20.203 or future version 0.22?
Thanks!

    You won't be able to "side-grade" to 0.20.203/204. You should be able to upgrade to 0.22, 0.23, etc. Just be sure to process your edits file *prior* to upgrading. Otherwise it might explode.

    thanks Allen, I really wish there wasn't such a version 0.21.0. :)

    It is tricky (lots of config work), but you could always run the two versions in parallel on the same gear, distcp from 0.21 to 0.20.203, then shutdown the 0.21 instance.
