Hello, This might be something very obvious that I am missing but this has been bugging me and I am unable to find what am I missing?
I have hadoop and hbase installed on Linux machine. Version 2.0.0-cdh4.1.2 and 0.92.1-cdh4.1.2 respectively. They are working and I can invoke hbase shell and hadoop commands. When I give the following command: 'hbase version' I get the following output which is correct and expected: ----------------------- 13/04/29 07:47:42 INFO util.VersionInfo: HBase 0.92.1-cdh4.1.2 13/04/29 07:47:42 INFO util.VersionInfo: Subversion file:///data/1/jenkins/workspace/generic-package-rhel64-6-0/topdir/BUILD/hbase-0.92.1-cdh4.1.2 -r Unknown 13/04/29 07:47:42 INFO util.VersionInfo: Compiled by jenkins on Thu Nov 1 18:01:09 PDT 2012 But when I I kick of the VersionInfo class manually (I do see that there is a main method in there), I get an Unknown result? Why is that? Command: 'java -cp /usr/lib/hbase/hbase-0.92.1-cdh4.1.2-security.jar:/usr/lib/hbase/lib/commons-logging-1.1.1.jar org.apache.hadoop.hbase.util.VersionInfo' Output: ----------------------- Apr 29, 2013 7:48:41 a.m. org.apache.hadoop.hbase.util.VersionInfo logVersion INFO: HBase Unknown Apr 29, 2013 7:48:41 a.m. org.apache.hadoop.hbase.util.VersionInfo logVersion INFO: Subversion Unknown -r Unknown Apr 29, 2013 7:48:41 a.m. org.apache.hadoop.hbase.util.VersionInfo logVersion INFO: Compiled by Unknown on Unknown Now this is causing problems when I am trying to run my HBase client on this machine as the it aborts with the following error: ----------------------- java.lang.RuntimeException: hbase-default.xml file seems to be for and old version of HBase (0.92.1-cdh4.1.2), this version is Unknown at org.apache.hadoop.hbase.HBaseConfiguration.checkDefaultsVersion(HBaseConfiguration.java:68) This means that the hbase-default.xml in the hbase jar is being picked up but the version info captured/compiled through annotations is not? How is it possible if 'hbase shell' (or hadoop version') works fine! Please advise. Thanks a lot. I will be very grateful. Regards, Shahab
