You probably don't need the data directory in hbase-site.xml, but the rest look important. If you have an independent zookeeper installation, hbase still needs to know how to connect to it.

Hi All, I have some doubt in the installation of hbase in fully distributed mode. In my configuration the hbase does not manage the zookeeper. I added zoo.cfg in zookeeper configuration file . Also specified some configuration in the hbase-site.xml file. Are the two configurations required for my zookeeper or any one is enough? My zoo.cfg file tickTime=2000 dataDir=/home/hadoop/zookeeperdata clientPort=2181 initLimit=5 syncLimit=2 server.1=192.168.111.101:2888:3888 server.2=192.168.111.102:2888:3888 server.3=192.168.111.103:2888:3888 hbase-site.xml <property> <name>hbase.rootdir</name> <value>hdfs://shanmuganathanr:54310/hbase</value> </property> <property> <name>hbase.cluster.distributed</name> <value>true</value> </property> <property> <name>hbase.zookeeper.property.clientPort</name> <value>2181</value> <description>Property from ZooKeeper’s config zoo.cfg.The port at which the clients will connect. </description> </property> <property> <name>hbase.zookeeper.property.dataDir</name> <value>/home/hadoop/zookeeperdata</value> <description>Property from ZooKeeper’s config zoo.cfg.
