[jira] Commented: (HBASE-426) hbase can't find remote filesystem

["Bryan Duxbury (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-426?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12567122#action_12567122 ] 

Bryan Duxbury commented on HBASE-426:
-------------------------------------

There was a suggestion of having the hbase.rootdir parameter be a filesystem and path combined, like hdfs://server:port/path/to/hbase/root. This seems like it'd be a really simple, clear, useful way to specify where your files go.

Also, I think there should be a reasonable default value for this in hbase-site.xml, so that you KNOW that you have to change it. Putting it in hbase-default.xml would just be confusing.

> If filesystem is remote, e.g. its an Hadoop DFS running "over there", there is no means of pointing hbase at it currently (unless you count copying hadoop-site.xml into hbase/conf).  Should be possible to just set a fully qualified hbase.rootdir and that should be sufficient for hbase figuring the fs (needs to be backported to 0.1 too).
