I followed these marvelous instructions at http://hbase.apache.org/docs/r0.20.4/cygwin.html and got most everything to be configured correctly, localhost started, etc. But, when I run start-hbase.sh, I regularly get the error mentioned in the subject line.
>From the web, it's suggested to tweak Windows hosts to say 127.0.0.1
localhost which I did. No change. If I ping 127.0.0.1, it answers
just fine.
Can anyone point to something I missed?
Thanks
Jack
