Stack thanks for your response. I finally did get it figured out. Zookeeper was not showing up in the process list. The quick start was a bit misleading (at least to me). Here is where I got confused:
"Though not recommended, it can be convenient having HBase continue to manage ZooKeeper even when in distributed mode " This made it seem like this part was only if you don't want HBase to manage ZooKeeper. but if you didn't want HBase to manage zookeeper, then you didn't need to do this step, and only needed to modify the hbase env file, but thats not true completely in a dist. environment. This caused me to reconfig other things, which caused other problems etc. but i eventually got it going. I'm really happy with the support HBase forum provides here, you guys do a really good job. I hope .20 solves our performance issues with the scanners. When i get a bit of time, I will try to dive into the HBase code and try to help out as well. Will keep you posted. :) stack-3 wrote: > > On Thu, Jun 18, 2009 at 2:35 PM, llpind <[email protected]> wrote: > >> >> Thanks I did finally get it going, but only when I moved to a different >> master box.
