Remotely connecting hbase shell

[Ben Lisbakken <li...@vmware.com>]

Hello --

I just wrote this message to the list:

"I have done some searching and some places say to use:
$HBASE_HOME/bin/hbase shell --master:hbase2:6000

and some say to use:
$HBASE_HOME/bin/hbase shell --conf "path/to/hbase-site.xml"

But both fail for me on saying:
LoadError: No such file to load -- --master:172.20.192.24:60000
    load at org/jruby/RubyKernel.java:1062
  (root) at /var/vcap/packages/hbase/bin/../bin/hirb.rb:151

I am using Cloud Era's HBase 0.90.6+84.29 (
https://ccp.cloudera.com/display/SUPPORT/CDH3+Downloadable+Tarballs).  Any
ideas what the correct way to setup a remote hbase shell is?"

I found the answer to my question: to configure the config files (such as
hbase-site) in hbase and then re-run hbase shell.  I hope this helps others.

Thanks,
Ben

He probably means configuring $HBASE_HOME/conf and/or pointing
$HBASE_CONF_DIR locally to the right configs dir.

Hi Ben,
  Your self-discovered solution was not clear to me:

>> to configure the config files (such as hbase-site) in hbase and then
re-run hbase shell.

Pls clarify what actions constitute:  "configure the config files in
hbase":    Do you mean making certain changes to the local config files, or
putting the files themselves in hbase ..?
