Man I really understand the frustration when something just _does_not_work_, especially if advertised to work so.
But the thing to remember here, is hbase is cutting edge database stuff - highly clustered distributed databases are not super straighforward. For an example, take Oracle RAC - you won't be able to get that up and running at any interesting performance levels without paying oracle or a highly experienced oracle dba to tune it just right. So, considering how few tuning parameters, and how scalable hbase is, I think it's a great deal for the price.
