Hi all, I am having an issue starting the a mini cluster for the HBaseTestingUtility. In short I can on Mac OSX, but cannot on Linux. But the error is cryptic and I don't know what to do next.
I submitted a ticket with full details on StackOverflow, http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17625938/hbase-minidfscluster-java-fails-in-certain-environments But when I call .startMiniCluster on an instance of HBaseTestingUtility , on Linux (CentOS x86_64), I receive this error: ERROR in (create-table) (MiniDFSCluster.java:426) Uncaught exception, not in assertion. expected: nil actual: java.lang.NullPointerException: null at org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.MiniDFSCluster.startDataNodes (MiniDFSCluster.java:426) org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.MiniDFSCluster.<init> (MiniDFSCluster.java:284) org.apache.hadoop.hbase.HBaseTestingUtility.startMiniDFSCluster (HBaseTestingUtility.java:444) org.apache.hadoop.hbase.HBaseTestingUtility.startMiniCluster (HBaseTestingUtility.java:612) org.apache.hadoop.hbase.HBaseTestingUtility.startMiniCluster (HBaseTestingUtility.java:568) org.apache.hadoop.hbase.HBaseTestingUtility.startMiniCluster (HBaseTestingUtility.java:555) I would appreciate help in finding out whats going on and how to set up my ENV to use the HBaseTestingUtility. Thanks David
