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} -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
