hbase-site.xml example in quickstart doesn't work in Linux
----------------------------------------------------------
Key: HBASE-4858
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-4858
Project: HBase
Issue Type: Bug
Components: documentation
Environment: java version "1.6.0_23"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea6 1.11pre) (6b23~pre11-1)
OpenJDK Client VM (build 20.0-b11, mixed mode, sharing)
Reporter: Bryce Allen
Priority: Minor
Under Linux with OpenJDK 1.6, using a file:///XX URL in the config file creates
a directory called 'file:' in the hbase root directory. If I use a standard
Unix absolute path, it works as expected. This may work on other platforms, but
it would be good to add a note in the example:
{code}
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="configuration.xsl"?>
<configuration>
<property>
<name>hbase.rootdir</name>
<!-- Depending on your platform, this may create a 'file:' directory
in hbase home instead of the desired behavior. Try using a standard
platform specific absolute path instead. -->
<value>file:///DIRECTORY/hbase</value>
</property>
</configuration>
{code}
