> The HBaseTestingUtility appears to have an unhandled NullPointerException in certain environments.   It works on Apache HBase 0.94.6.1 on Mac OSX but not in certain Linux environments such as CentOS. 
> In Java:
> {code}
> HBaseTestingUtility testingUtility = new HBaseTestingUtility();
> testingUtility.startMiniCluster(1);  // blows up on CentOS Linux but not Mac OSX
> {code}
> Creates this exception:
> {code}
> ERROR in (create-table) (MiniDFSCluster.java:426)
> Uncaught exception, not in assertion.
> expected: nil
>   actual: java.lang.NullPointerException: null
>  at org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.MiniDFSCluster.startDataNodes (MiniDFSCluster.java:426)
>     org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.MiniDFSCluster.<init> (MiniDFSCluster.java:284)
>     org.apache.hadoop.hbase.HBaseTestingUtility.startMiniDFSCluster (HBaseTestingUtility.java:444)

> {code}
> I also created a stack overflow ticket here, with more info:
> http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17625938/hbase-minidfscluster-java-fails-in-certain-environments
> Steps to reproduce:
> 1.  Download a copy of CentOS
> 2.  Install Java
> 3.  Fire up a minicluster as part of the HBaseTestingUtility
