They are indeed quite similar but do have some significant differences. Some of the commands take different arguments and there are different commands run in each.
If HBase were a part of hadoop proper instead of a contrib project (like record io which was moved from contrib into the main hadoop tree), I would be more inclined to merge the scripts since they would have more in common. For now, I think keeping them separate is probably the right thing to do. --- Jim Kellerman > -----Original Message----- > From: Doug Cutting [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, October 30, 2007 9:53 AM > To: hadoop-user@lucene.apache.org > Subject: Re: How to Setup Hbase in 10 mintues > > Holger Stenzhorn wrote: > > This fix is exactly the same as done for hadoop-daemon.sh (and > > introduced into the Subversion repository already). > > Which begs the question: could HBase use hadoop-daemon.sh > directly?
