In order to avoid this problem, I recommend you follow the steps outlined here: http://opentsdb.net/setup-hbase.html which show how to create a conf/hbase-site.xml that forces HBase to use your loopback interface. This way everything will keep using 127.0.0.1. This has worked well for me to develop on my laptop. -- Benoit "tsuna" Sigoure Software Engineer @ www.StumbleUpon.com
