If you're writing a junit test that spins up a mini cluster to test the coprocessor, then there's no need to deploy the jar into HDFS just for testing. The coprocessor class should already be on your test classpath. In your test's setup method, you just need to either: a) add the coprocessor class name to the configuration (as hbase.coprocessor.region.classes) or b) to the HTableDescriptor before you create the table.
Take a look at the following HBase test classes as an example: org.apache.hadoop.hbase.coprocessor.TestRegionObserverInterface org.apache.hadoop.hbase.coprocessor.TestCoprocessorEndpoint On Wed, Jan 30, 2013 at 11:27 PM, Wei Tan <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > I am writing a maven junit test for a HBase coprocessor.
