NullPointerException thrown in the client driver when trying to scan

[Mike Thomsen <mi...@gmail.com>]

I wrote a simple Groovy script to test the connection:

@Grab(group='org.apache.hbase', module='hbase-client', version='1.1.5')
@Grab(group='org.hamcrest', module='hamcrest-core', version='1.2')
@Grab(group='org.apache.hbase', module='hbase-common', version='1.1.5')
@Grab(group='org.apache.hadoop', module='hadoop-common', version='2.7.2')
@Grab(group='org.apache.curator', module='curator-client',
version='3.2.0')
@Grab(group='org.apache.curator', module='curator-framework',
version='3.2.0')
@Grab(group='org.apache.curator', module='curator-recipes',
version='3.2.0')
@Grab(group='org.mortbay.jetty', module='jetty', version='6.1.26')

import org.apache.hadoop.hbase.HColumnDescriptor
import org.apache.hadoop.hbase.TableName
import org.apache.hadoop.security.UserGroupInformation;
import org.apache.hadoop.hbase.security.visibility.Authorizations

def log = { msg ->
    println "${Calendar.instance.time}\t$msg"
}
Configuration conf = HBaseConfiguration.create();
log "Created configuration"
conf.addResource('/vagrant/workspace/hbase-config/hbase-site.xml')
Connection conn = ConnectionFactory.createConnection(conf);
log "Got conn"
Admin admin = conn.getAdmin();
log "Got admin"
def table = conn.getTable(TableName.valueOf('test_table'))
log "Got table"
assert table
def scan = new Scan()
scan.setAuthorizations(new Authorizations(["public", "private]))
try {
    def scanner = table.getScanner(scan)
    def fam = 'prop'.bytes
    def qual = 'msg'.bytes
    log "Got scanner, scanning..."
    scanner.each { result ->
        println new String(result.row)
        // println "\t" + new String(result.getValue(fam, qual))
    }
} catch (Exception ex) {
    ex.printStackTrace()
}

When I run it, this is the output:

Wed Sep 06 14:01:25 EDT 2017    Got conn
Wed Sep 06 14:01:25 EDT 2017    Got admin
Wed Sep 06 14:01:25 EDT 2017    Got table

I am running this from the HortonWorks sandbox, and I am using the client
configuration that Ambari generated. I checked the Docker command, and I
did map ports 60000, 60010, 60020, 60030 and 2181 so I'm not sure why it
wouldn't be able to run a scanner.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Mike
