I started HBase using ./start-hbase.sh. I did ./hbase shell to start the shell of Hbase. The problem is that I can’t create a new table.
$ ./hbase shell
HBase Shell; enter 'help<RETURN>' for list of supported commands.
Type "exit<RETURN>" to leave the HBase Shell
Version 0.92.1, r1298924, Fri Mar 9 16:58:34 UTC 2012
hbase(main):001:0> create 'test','cf'
It stays like this forever. Can someone help?
Thanks
You have to check the Hmaster logs for that, check the hbase.rootdir and hbase.zookeeper.quorum parameters in the hbase-site.xml file.
This generally happens when Hbase cannot connect to the Zookeeper quorum.
