Hello Everyone,
I've been trying to set up a local instance of HBase using instructions from
http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/Hbase/10Minutes. I've redefined hbase.rootdir
to point to an empty local filesystem directory. When I try to start HBase,
I get the following:
$ ./start-hbase.sh
starting master, logging to
/home/mbautin/test/hbase/hbase-0.19.3/bin/../logs/hbase-mbautin-master-localhost.out
WARNING! File system needs to be upgraded. Run the '${HBASE_HOME}/bin/hbase
migrate' script.
localhost: starting regionserver, logging to
/home/mbautin/test/hbase/hbase-0.19.3/bin/../logs/hbase-mbautin-regionserver-localhost.out
and the master does not start, leaving the following message in the log:
2009-07-24 18:47:21,820 ERROR org.apache.hadoop.hbase.master.HMaster: Can
not start master
org.apache.hadoop.hbase.util.FileSystemVersionException: File system needs
to be upgraded. Run the '${HBASE_HOME}/bin/hbase migrate' script.

However, when I run "hbase migrate upgrade", I get
$ ./hbase migrate upgrade

which is reasonable, because the rootdir is empty. Please let me know how to
initiailize the HBase data directory correctly before starting HBase locally
for the first time.
Thanks,
