Hi Gerald, The easiest way to test HBase locally is: 1) Download the tar.gz 2) Ungzip it. 3) Make sure host file contains FQDN assign to local IP address (and not 127.0.0.1) 4) define JAVA_HOME to point to you Sun JDK 5) bin/start-hbase.sh
Don't change anything, don't set any other variable, don't do anything. Just those 5 simple steps. Then you should have a standalone version running.
