Yes. It will start zookeeper by default. Else you can start it manually too. See if given below link is helpful for you.

Vivek -----Original Message----- From: Jeff Whiting [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, November 30, 2010 10:35 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: <newbie> HBASE setup HBase does require zookeeper. However you can have hbase manage zookeeper for you or you could manage zookeeper yourself. For the size of your cluster (small) I would just let hbase manage zookeeper. If I'm not mistaken the standard start up scripts that come with apache hbase will start up zookeeper by default. ~Jeff On 11/30/2010 9:14 AM, Joseph Coleman wrote: > Please forgive me as I am new to the Hadoop world and am working to > understand it before we do a large scale deployment.
