Hello, I didn't manage to make hbase work properly and i would need some help please, I already read helps on the forum and couldn't find what i did wrong.
I'm using the version 0.94.6.1 on ubuntu 12.04 and I'm trying it in local host. I already verified my localhost adress is 127.0.0.1 I used the command ./bin/start-hbase.sh and got some errors and warnings in the logs : 2013-04-23 14:45:19,248 WARN org.apache.hadoop.hbase.zookeeper.RecoverableZooKeeper: Node /hbase/backup-masters/rmm-p1188629fl.ads.local,60782,1366721118837 already deleted, and this is not a retry 2013-04-23 14:45:19,277 WARN org.apache.hadoop.hbase.util.FSUtils: Unable to create version file at file:/app/hbase, retrying: Mkdirs failed to create file:/app/hbase 2013-04-23 14:45:29,278 WARN org.apache.hadoop.hbase.util.FSUtils: Unable to create version file at file:/app/hbase, retrying: Mkdirs failed to create file:/app/hbase 2013-04-23 14:45:39,278 WARN org.apache.hadoop.hbase.util.FSUtils: Unable to create version file at file:/app/hbase, retrying: Mkdirs failed to create file:/app/hbase 2013-04-23 14:45:49,279 FATAL org.apache.hadoop.hbase.master.HMaster: Unhandled exception. Starting shutdown. Then i can access the shell with ./bin/hbase shell but i couldn't create any table with the create command. here is what i put in my hbase-site.xml <configuration> <property> <name>hbase.rootdir</name> <value>file:///app/hbase</value> </property> <property> <name>hbase.zookeeper.property.dataDir</name> <value>app/zookeeper</value> </property> </configuration> You can find attached to the e-mail my complete log file. I hope you can find what my problem is. Thank you, Sincerely yours Rajna Jacob.
