I've been trying the things suggested under quickstart, but to no avail so far. One question before getting into more detail: the quickstart section doesn't mention a hbase-default.xml file in the /conf directory in HBase, only the hbase-site.xml file. The installation instructions I followed earlier, however, do involve the hbase-default.xml file.
When trying to get HBase running as a standalone as detailed in the quickstart section, should the hbase-default.xml file be there (and configured according to http://hbase.apache.org/cygwin.html) in the /conf directory of HBase? Or should only the hbase-site.xml file be there, adjusted according to the quickstart section? Maybe it's a stupid question, but I'd like to get that cleared up so I have a better idea of what to do. I've tried running HBase both with and without the hbase-default.xml configuration file present in /conf after following the instructions under the quickstart section. Those 2 cases generate different errors and I'm not sure which case to look at. In either case, using process explorer to look at the processes yields the same result. Starting HBase with start-hbase.sh temporarily generates a bunch of processes, of which 2 bash.exe processes (each with a child java.exe process) remain. From the process information, one bash process is a zookeeper instance and the other a master instance. After about a minute or two, the bash.exe process associated with the master seems to remove/kill itself. Trying to run commands in the hbase shell then yields the same MasterNotRunningException. -- View this message in context: http://apache-hbase.679495.n3.nabble.com/HBase-on-Windows-7-Master-not-running-error-tp4037881p4037883.html Sent from the HBase User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
