I have not been able to bring up a simple standalone hbase pseuo
distributed mode cluster on a single ubuntu 12.x machine. A couple of
co-workers that have been using hbase for years also looked at it and we
have not been able to resolve.
Before I jump in to the details, i'll just say : "hey is there a pointer to
a well known configuration that just works?" I don't have any special
requirements beyond the following:
ubuntu 12.x
single machine pseudo distributed
preference for hbase 0.92.2 but not a showstopper for newer versions
apache (not cdh, etc) hadoop 1.X (version not important to me beyond
that)
Some more details on the setup:
using hadoop 1.0.3 . HDFS and map/reduce been working fine for months
hbase 0.92.2
zookeeper: have tried both hbase manages zk=true as well as false (and
with zk 3.3.6)
hdfs: using localhost:8020
Launching hbase with start-hbase.sh
master comes up
regiion server comes up
region server shows as "region in transition" and never
completes/never starts serving regions
Appears that master does not register properly with ZK - though
there *is * a new /hbase/master node in zookeeper , it oes not have any
entries.
