Hello Hbase Users!
I installed the Hbase distribution on a one node cluster (my test linux box)
I wrote a small client that creates a table, and inset some data in it.
Then if I do a
pkill -9 java
and restart Hbase, everything is gone (no table and thus no data in that
table any more).
I would have expected that hbase recovers well from such a 'kill' (which
could simulate a node crash).
Am I missing something?
Is that because I only use one node?
is that because the data is in memory only and needs to be flushed to disk?
Thanks
