Hadoop RunJar looks to contain the only use of hadoop.tmp.dir other than test and contrib code. It does the following: 'new File(new Configuration().get("hadoop.tmp.dir"));' using java.io.File. In hbase, its all Path and hadoop FileSystem. So, yes, content of hadoop.tmp.dir is treated differently.
Could that be changed? ...meaning, wouldn't it be sensible to change HBase (to use Path etc.) so it behaves like Hadoop?

You mean, can hadoop be changed? (Its hbase that's drunk the kool-aid; its the one that goes via hadoop FileSystem for all filesystem accesses whereas the hadoop use of hadoop.tmp.dir goes via java.io.File).

I took a look again at your logs trying to figure why no deploy of the critical .META. For .META. to be deployed, it needs mention in the -ROOT- table as a row. This is done in the HMaster constructor IF this test passes: '#903 if (!fs.exists(rootRegionDir)) {'. I'm guessing this test is failing.

But the Mighty Jim Kellerman just tried on his cygwin install and if using local filesystem and all defaults -- no additions to hbase-site.xml -- it all just works for him (.META. gets deployed successufully, etc.).

What happens if you clean up your local directory removing ${hadoop.tmp.dir} and retry?

Thanks,

Did you just change the value of hadoop.tmp.dir from /tmp/hadoop-${user.name} to /tmp/hadoop-holste on cygwin and it then worked?
No. I changed it to changed the value "c:\tmp\hadoop-holste".


Also, I tried to do the very same (as described in my intitial mail) on Ubuntu also *without* specifying "hadoop.tmp.dir".
There it works wihtout problems...

Yeah. I know things work out-of-the-box on linux/macosx. Jim has been doing a bunch of work trying to get the same to happen on cygwin (10Minutes has the latest fruit of his work).

As requested by Michel Stack I also attach my log (turned to debug) when starting the server.

Thanks for the log.  Comments interlaced.

Cheers,
Holger
