Niels Basjes updated HBASE-14750:
---------------------------------
Description:
While writing an application that uses HBase I ran into the problem that
although I have setup the hbase-site.xml in the {{HBASE_CONF_DIR}}; the
settings in this file are not picked up in my application.
In several places I find instructions to include things like the
{{hbase.zookeeper.quorum}} in a properties file and the explicitly set these
value from within the application (I have actually done this in the past quite
a few times).
Although this works I expect the system to automatically pickup the settings I
have installed already which are picked up by tools like the hbase shell and
pig.
So I ended up writing this helper method:
{code:java}
public static Configuration createConfiguration() {
String hbaseConfDir = System.getenv("HBASE_CONF_DIR");
if (hbaseConfDir == null) {
hbaseConfDir = "/etc/hbase/conf";
}
Configuration conf = HBaseConfiguration.create();
conf.addResource(new Path(hbaseConfDir + "/hbase-site.xml"));
return conf;
}
{code}
I expect HBaseConfiguration.create() to give me a working config in an
environment where everything for all the other HBase clients has already been
setup correctly.
My proposal is to change the HBaseConfiguration.create() to effectively include
what my helper method does.
