Hi Rong-En, What do you mean HBASE_MANAGES_ZK is broken? HBase currently doesn't manage a full ZK Quorum, but will soon. This is HBASE-1551, which I am close to having working.
We moved the zoo.cfg to the XML files to make things easier on users. If you have a ZooKeeper cluster setup, all you need to do is add the property "hbase.zookeeper.quorum". If you overwrote some of the defaults, say tickTime, then you need to add those properties as well, named e.g. hbase.zookeeper.property.timeTime. If you look at the bottom of hbase-default.xml, it will describe things in more detail. So, right now you still need to setup your own quorum ZK, and point HBase to it using "hbase.zookeeper.quorum". Soon you won't have to do your own setup of the ZK, but you'll always have to still have to fill out the "hbase.zookeeper.quorum" property. Hope that helps. -n On Sun, Jul 5, 2009 at 9:13 PM, Rong-en Fan <[email protected]> wrote: > After 1606 went in, how can I proper configure zookeeper and start it? > Tried it during the weekend, looks like current HBASE_MANAGES_ZK > is broken.
