TimelineSchemaCreator breaks after protobuffer upgrade

While creating schema using HBaseTimelineSchemaCreator, observed below issue. Looks like this one broke with proto buffers upgrade (HADOOP-16557). I ran TimelineSchemaCreator against hbase version 1.4.8 which is packaged with proto buffers 2.5.
