>
> 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.
