Hi All, I was setting up hbase-0.20.0 in standalone mode on cygwin tonight and ran across this exact problem from August 31st:
http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg05873.html I believe I fixed it by changing conf/hbase-default.xml from <property> <name>hbase.zookeeper.quorum</name> <value>*localhost*</value> <description>Comma separated list of servers in the ZooKeeper Quorum. For example, "host1.mydomain.com,host2.mydomain.com,host3.mydomain.com". By default this is set to localhost for local and pseudo-distributed modes of operation. For a fully-distributed setup, this should be set to a full list of ZooKeeper quorum servers. If HBASE_MANAGES_ZK is set in hbase-env.sh this is the list of servers which we will start/stop ZooKeeper on. </description> </property> to <property> <name>hbase.zookeeper.quorum</name> <value>*127.0.0.1*</value> <description>Comma separated list of servers in the ZooKeeper Quorum. For example, "host1.mydomain.com,host2.mydomain.com,host3.mydomain.com". By default this is set to localhost for local and pseudo-distributed modes of operation.

Maybe the value could be changed by default or a note could be added to the getting started guide. Everything else has gone smoothly so far. Matt
