By default the master starts on the machine that you run start-hbase.sh on

You can control which machine the master starts on by running:
ssh <machine-name> ${HBASE_HOME}/bin/hbase-daemon.sh --config 
"${HBASE_CONF_DIR}" start master

You can create a derivative of the start-hbase.sh script to insert the 'ssh 
<machine-name>' if you still want to launch from the namenode machine, but want 
the master to run on another machine

Hi All,

            The hbase.rootdir property is used to specify the HDFS location 
where we store the hbase works . is it right?


If we want to run the HMaster in separate machine in the cluster , than where 
we specify the master. is there no need to specify the master anywhere in the 
configuration?

Hi Shanmuganathan, 
 
Use the following property in HBASE-SITE.XML to specify the HDFS path. 
Ensure that you have the host name mapping of the namenode and the master 
machine. 
 
 &lt;property&gt; 
 &lt;name&gt;hbase.rootdir&lt;/name&gt; 
 &lt;value&gt;hdfs://linux76:9000/hbase&lt;/value&gt; 
 &lt;description&gt;The directory shared by region servers. 
 &lt;/description&gt; 
 &lt;/property&gt; 
 &lt;property&gt; 
 
Hope this information is useful. 
 
Regards 
Ram

Hi All, 
 
 How we will run the Namenode and the HMaster in separate hosts 
? Please give me some guide lines about this area. 
 
 
where we give the this one is the HMaster ? In my configuration of HBase, i 
didn't mention the HMaster in the any configuration file. I simply run the 
hmaster in the namenode . 
If we have the possibility to run the namenode and hmaster separately , give 
where we mention this running environment. 
 
 
Thanks in advance... 
 
 
Regards 
 
 
Shanmuganathan
