The HBase documentation asks me to Copy the pseudo-distributed suggested configuration file
cp conf/hbase-site.xml{.pseudo-distributed.template,}
But there is no such file!
cp: cannot stat `conf/hbase-site.xml.pseudo-distributed.template': No such file or directory
Where can I find that template?
It’s missing. You can find it in packages that came before to 0.9. See the bug tracker entry
