HBase Prompt missing

[James Ram <hb...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I have few basic question related to HBase shell. Please help me out in
these issues.

1. When I start the HBase Shell I am not getting the HBase prompt.
2. When I enter the command wrongly shell is closing abnormally.
3. When I use backspace key also the shell closes abnormally.
4. Is there any technique to find the performance of a HBase script?

Hey James:

Our 'stable' offering as of last week is 0.90.1.

Does the shell work better in 0.20.6?  If so, it maybe the fact that
we had to revert the jruby version from 1.5.x to 1.0.3.  The latter
may not be doing so well on windows.  Try copying the jruby*jar from
0.20.6 under the lib dir for 0.90.1.  See if that improves things.

Also there will not be a 0.20.7, so you'll never get bug fixes.

0.90.1 is the way to go.

0.20.6 is stable, but I warrant that 0.90 is the better choice by a good
margin.

Hi Ted,

We are new to HBase and we thought 0.20.6 is a stable version. We also tried
0.90.0 but the shell is not working properly. We still are unable to figure
out which version to use for our production setup.

Re: HBase Prompt missing

[Stack <st...@duboce.net>]

Have you had a look in our mail archive for issues related to running
hbase on windows?  There seem to be some peculiarities that need
managing.  For example, users report set up of zk takes an extra step:
http://search-hadoop.com/m/Ty7sb1FRxYH1/hbase+on+windows&subj=Re+hbase+setup+windows+7

Your shell may be hanging trying to talk to zk?

Re: HBase Prompt missing

[James Ram <hb...@gmail.com>]

Hi Lars,

a) We are using Cygwin with Windows XP.
b) We are using HBase 0.20.6
c) We set up HBase using tarball.
d) It is not showing any error. It simply quits the shell and goes back to
the cygwin prompt. Even in logs its not throwing any exception.
e) The Master UI is not working
f) We have not yet tried any Java API on HBase.

We tried the same version of HBase on linux. Its working finely. We also
tried hbase-0.90.0 version on Cygwin and the shell prompt showed up. But
here none of the HBase shell commands were working and it didnt show any
exceptions. The shell prompt appeared to hang for a long time.

We are not able to stop the hbase normally (using stop-hbase.sh). We had to
force terminate the java process to stop HBase.

With Regards,
Jr.

Hi James,

Could you tell us

a) what OS are you using?
b) what version of HBase are you using?
c) how did you set up HBase (distro or tarball)?
d) what errors do you get when the shell aborts?
e) does the master UI work?
f) can you use HBase through the API?
