Yeah...HBase installation doesn't mention about these configuration. From hdfs-default.xml, dfs.name.dir is the place "on the local filesystem the DFS name node should store the name table(fsimage)", so you can set it to any place you want. So is dfs.data.dir
For example, you can create a directory "dfs" and set dfs.name.dir as dfs/name and dfs.data.dir as dfs.data good luck >From: Raghava Mutharaju <[email protected]> >Reply-To: [email protected] >To: [email protected], Li Chongxin <[email protected]> >Subject: Re: tables disappear after system restart (single node) >Date: Sun, 6 Jun 2010 22:47:01 -0400 > >Hello Li, > > Thank you.
