hbase.tmp dir property not working

Any have any issues with the following property not working.


	<property>
		<name>hbase.tmp.dir</name>
		<value>/Users/ben//hbase</value>
		<description>The directory shared by RegionServers.
		</description>
	</property>


When I set this, hbase still creates it's filesystem in /tmp/hbase-ben

My hbase config looks like this. I thought with the configuration below i would be connecting to hadoop and using that rather than a local store.

<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="configuration.xsl"?>
<configuration>

		<description>
  		 Number of rows that will be fetched when calling next on a scanner if it is not served from memory. 
		 Higher caching values will enable faster scanners but will eat up more memory and some calls of next may take longer and longer times when the cache is empty.

Hi Ben,

Are you running HBase in local mode? Did you also set hbase.rootdir?
hbase.rootdir defaults to file:///tmp/hbase-${user.name}/hbase.

Any have any issues with the following property not working.

    <property>
        <name>hbase.tmp.dir</name>
        <value>/Users/ben//hbase</value>
        <description>The directory shared by RegionServers.
        </description>
    </property>

When I set this, hbase still creates it's filesystem in /tmp/hbase-ben
