--------------------------------------------
Hi Bryce,
So what you are saying is that you used this example instead?
{code:xml}
<?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>/DIRECTORY/hbase</value>
</property>
</configuration>
{code}
On a fully-distributed environment, it should be something like "hdfs://...".
But "file://..." should still be working even under linux. At least, it was
worling for me. Are you sure there is no typo? Can you give it another try? I
will retry too on my side.

> 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"?>

> <property>
> <name>hbase.rootdir</name>
> <!-- Depending on your platform, this may create a 'file:' directory

> <value>file:///DIRECTORY/hbase</value>
> </property>
