----------------------------------
Thanks for the reply.
Yes, quick start should has minimal required config.
However the advanced section is also part of the quick start.
http://hbase.apache.org/book.html#quickstart_fully_distributed
Newbee who follow the instruction to setup the env and find there is fatal
error will feel very frustrated.
My suggestion is to add some text like this:
"""
Please be noted that in current Hbase version, the master or backup master
server is also a type of region server. So when you decide to start the region
server and backup master on the same node for example node-b.example.com. It
will hit error as the port can be used for only one of them.
To resolve this issue you can edit config/hbase-site.xml add below config
<property>
<name>
hbase.regionserver.port
</name>
<value>
18020
</value>
<source>
hbase-default.xml
</source>
</property>
This will force the region server to use some different port to avoid the
conflict.
"""
I think the text can be added at the "Procedure: Prepare node-b and node-c". :)

> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: documentation
> Affects Versions: 1.0.1.1
> Environment: CentOS Linux release 7.1.1503 (Core)
> Reporter: kramerli
> Fix For: 1.0.1.1
>
> Original Estimate: 1h
> Remaining Estimate: 1h
>
> This is an error on online documation.
> (http://hbase.apache.org/book.html#_get_started_with_hbase ).
> To locate the error you can go to
> 2.2. Get Started with HBase
> Example 2. Example hbase-site.xml for Standalone HBase
> The config example here do not specify a port for the region server. So When
> you go to the 2.4 Advanced - Fully Distributed
> (http://hbase.apache.org/book.html#quickstart_fully_distributed). You will
> hit error.
> Because the region server will conflict with backup master or master. As they
> use the same port.
> People who read this section are always newbee, this will confuse them.
