Hi all, Wondering if someone could help me with a complete novice question... I'm trying to set up Hbase 0.20.6 under Cygwin on Win 7 Ult. x64. I've completed most of the steps at http://hbase.apache.org/docs/r0.20.6/cygwin.html, but I'm having problems configuring the file paths required. Specifically the following part:
"HBase uses the ./conf/*hbase-default.xml* file for configuration. Some properties do not resolve to existing directories because the JVM runs on Windows. This is the major issue to keep in mind when working with Cygwin: within the shell all paths are *nix-alike, hence relative to the root /. However, every parameter that is to be consumed within the windows processes themself, need to be Windows settings, hence C:\-alike. Change following propeties in the configuration file, adjusting paths where necessary to conform with your own installation: 1. hbase.rootdir must read e.g. file:///C:/cygwin/root/tmp/hbase/data 2. hbase.tmp.dir must read C:/cygwin/root/tmp/hbase/tmp " I'm not sure what values to put for my install. At the moment I have HBase in C:/cygwin/usr/local/hbase-0.20.16. I created folders at the above locations (bar the 'root' folder, don't really understand why that's there), but when I try to run the start script I get the following: $ ./bin/start-hbase.sh : hostname nor servname provided, or not known starting master, logging to /usr/local/hbase-0.20.6/bin/../logs/hbase-Paul-Deskt op-master-Paul-Desktop.out localhost: bash.exe: warning: could not find /tmp, please create! localhost: /usr/bin/bash: /usr/local/hbase-0.20.6/bin/hbase-daemon.sh: No such f ile or directory Any help appreciated! Paul
