Re: How to start a Configuration (Java API) with a specific file?

[stack]

You know about the HBASE_CONF_DIR environment variable?  You could set 
it to point to different locations when you launch your job.

Doing it in code, it depends on the context.  Be sure to read the 
addResource code and see how it works (there are configurations that 
cannot be overridden).  Then, make sure that there are not other 
hbase-*.xml files ahead of yours in the CLASSPATH (Check job jars for 
bundled hbase-*.xmls).  Using names other than hbase-*.xml might also 
help IIRC.

Hi all

I want to specify in the code which hbase-site.xml file will be used as a
source for configuration. I tried to use addResources() but it doesn't work
- the path is added , but nothing happends - it's automatically goes for the
defaults (127.0.0.1:6000) . Can you please advise?

This is the code:


       conf = new HBaseConfiguration();
        Path sitePath = new Path("util/hbase-site.xml");
        Path defualtPath = new Path("util/hbase-default.xml");

        conf.addResource(sitePath);
        conf.addResource(defualtPath);

        try {
            admin = new HBaseAdmin(conf);
        } catch (MasterNotRunningException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }


Thanks
