hbase-daemons.sh cannot be used do launch zookeeper independently from HBase
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HBASE-5232
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-5232
Project: HBase
Issue Type: Bug
Components: scripts
Affects Versions: 0.94.0
Reporter: nkeywal
Priority: Minor
The HBaseBook says in chapter 2.5.1
{noformat}
If you would like to run ZooKeeper yourself, independent of HBase start/stop,
you would do the following
${HBASE_HOME}/bin/hbase-daemons.sh {start,stop} zookeeper
Note that you can use HBase in this manner to spin up a ZooKeeper cluster,
unrelated to HBase. Just make sure to set HBASE_MANAGES_ZK to false if you want
it to stay up across HBase restarts so that when HBase shuts down, it doesn't
take ZooKeeper down with it.
{noformat}
However, it does not work because the hbase-daemons script always calls
zookeepers.sh which checks HBASE_MANAGES_ZK and does nothing when it's not set
to true.
Imho, the best solution would be to keep the documentation and change the
scripts.
