Hmmm.. Interesting... I could swear the 2nd time around I had run stop-hbase.sh before rebooting. But may be I didn't wait long enough. My job adds over 100 million rows to a table. I have plenty of free space on my hard drive, so I am assuming this will all work in "standalone" mode, correct? (Just doing a proof of concept for now.)
In any case, thanks for the reply. It sounds like the tables should get persisted to disk. Will try once again.

HBase questions will get more timely response if posted to the hbase lists (see hbase.org).
