Hi,
In hbase-common/src/main/resources/hbase-default.xml , there is the
following:
<property>
<name>hbase.regionserver.info.port.auto</name>
<value>false</value>
<description>Whether or not the Master or RegionServer
UI should search for a port to bind to. Enables automatic port
search if hbase.regionserver.info.port is already in use.
Useful for testing, turned off by default.</description>
</property>
A brief search for the config parameter didn't reveal where it is used.
Maybe I am missing something ?
