Never got the "-c" argument to work, but when I setup the following environment vars, it was happy:
export HBASE_HOME <path-to-hbase> added hbase conf dir to CLASSPATH added hbase conf dir to HADOOP_CLASSPATH not sure which of those did the trick, but I'm good now and I guess hadoop now "knows about my hbase" via the environment variables. -geoff -----Original Message----- From: Geoff Hendrey Sent: Wednesday, May 25, 2011 11:29 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: bulkloader zookeeper connectString Thanks for the pointer.

It seems your hadoop doesn't know about hbase's configuration.
