Ok, I finally got HBase to work. With the current networking configs and then just tried to run it with the default configs. I didn't change the path to the directory, which I think I was messing up in hbase-site.xml.
One more question, how should the syntax look like in this thing? If I want to store the data in /hbase (from the root directory), should the path look like this? <property> <name>hbase.rootdir</name> <value>file:/hbase</value> </property> On Tue, May 28, 2013 at 1:08 PM, Yves S.
