hbase.master was dropped around 2009 now that we have zookeeper. So you can set it to whatever you want, it won't change anything :) > > 2) zookeeper parent seems bad.. > > Change hbase-rootdir to "hbase" (in hbase.rootdir) so that it's consistent > with what you defined in zookeeper parent node. Those two are really unrelated, /hbase is the default so no need to override it, and I'm guessing that hbase.rootdir is somewhere writable so that's all good. Now, regarding the "Check the value configured in 'zookeeper.znode.parent", it's triggered when the client wants to read the /hbase znode in ZooKeeper but it's unable to. If it doesn't exist, it might be because your HBase is homed elsewhere. It could also be that HBase isn't running at all so the Master never got to create it. BTW you can start the shell with -d and it's gonna give more info and dump all the stack traces. Going by this thread I would guess that HBase isn't running so the shell won't help. Another way to check is pointing your browser to localhost:60010 and see if the master is responding. If not, time to open up the log and see what's up. J-D
