I'm running HBase version 0.20.2 and am trying to get my HBase server to use S3 for storage instead of the local file system. I tried following the instructions here but could not get it to work:
http://developer.amazonwebservices.com/connect/thread.jspa?messageID=139683 My HBase version does not have a hadoop-site.xml file so I created one in the conf directory with the following parameters: <configuration> <property> <name>fs.default.name</name> <value>s3://hbase</value> </property> <property> <name>fs.s3.awsAccessKeyId</name> <value>id</value> </property> <property> <name>fs.s3.awsSecretAccessKey</name> <value>secret</value> </property> </configuration> I also updated the hbase.rootdir property with the S3 url as per the reference above. When I ran the hbase shell and tried to put a value into a table I got a deep stack trace with no mention of S3. Has anyone gotten HBase to use S3? If so - could you send me the config changes you made to get it to work? Thanks! John
