[Hadoop Wiki] Trivial Update of "Hbase/10Minutes" by stack

Dear Wiki user,

You have subscribed to a wiki page or wiki category on "Hadoop Wiki" for change notification.

The following page has been changed by stack:
http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/Hbase/10Minutes

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   1. If running a remote HDFS that you want hbase to connnect to, edit {{{conf/hbase-site.xml}}} and add a property for {{{hbase.rootdir}}}.  Set it to {{{hdfs://NAMENODE_HOST:NAMENODE_PORT/HBASE_ROOTDIR}}}.  For example, {{{hdfs://localhost:9000/hbase}}}.  Otherwise, use the default: {{{file:///tmp/hbase-${user.home}/hbase}}} UNLESS you are running on windows (TODO: Restore what you do here when on windows -- St.Ack).
   1. Edit {{{conf/hbase-env.sh}}} and define {{{JAVA_HOME}}}
   1. Start hbase with ~/hbase/bin/start-hbase.sh (hbase logs are viewable in ~/hbase/logs by default)
-  1. Enter hbase shell by running ~/hbase/bin/hbase shell
+  1. Enter hbase shell by running ~/hbase/bin/hbase shell; type 'help<ENTER>' to see shell help
   1. Have fun with hbase
   1. Stop the hbase servers with ~/hbase/bin/stop-hbase.sh.  Wait until the servers are finished stopping.  Avoid killing servers (though a 'kill pid' should be fine as opposed to a 'kill -9 pid').
