Hi, My standalone HBase instance, installed as per the 'getting started' section at http://hbase.apache.org/book/quickstart.html, doesn't work insofar.
I get in the log file: 2012-11-23 18:26:37,827 INFO org.apache.zookeeper.ClientCnxn: Session establishment complete on server localhost/127.0.0.1:2181, sessionid = 0x1 3b2e17842c0002, negotiated timeout = 40000 2012-11-23 18:26:37,866 INFO org.apache.hadoop.ipc.HBaseRPC: Server at localhost/127.0.0.1:39699 could not be reached after 1 tries, giving up. 2012-11-23 18:26:37,867 WARN org.apache.hadoop.hbase.master.AssignmentManager: Failed assignment of -ROOT-,,0.70236052 to localhost,39699,135368 7992912, trying to assign elsewhere instead; retry=0 org.apache.hadoop.hbase.client.RetriesExhaustedException: Failed setting up proxy interface org.apache.hadoop.hbase.ipc.HRegionInterface to loca lhost/127.0.0.1:39699 after attempts=1 . . . 2012-11-23 18:26:37,869 WARN org.apache.hadoop.hbase.master.AssignmentManager: Unable to find a viable location to assign region -ROOT-,,0.70236 052 2012-11-23 18:29:53,157 ERROR org.apache.hadoop.hbase.master.HMasterCommandLine: Failed to start masterv This is on an Ubuntu 12.04 LTS VirtualBox, 1GB Memory, 10GB free disk space, with Oracle JRE 1.6.0_37. I found some workarounds talking about /etc/hosts but am not sure whether they are relevant. My etc/hosts contains only: ::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback fe00::0 ip6-localnet ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix ff02::1 ip6-allnodes ff02::2 ip6-allrouters I'm really stuck here. Any help would be very much appreciated! Thanks!
