Need to change location of dataDir in zoo.cfg - but Accumulo doesn't start

[o haya <oh...@yahoo.com>]

Hi,

It's been awhile since I've been working with Accumulo.  To recap I have a standalone system with Hadoop, Zookeeper, and Accumulo 1.8.1 on it.

When I tried to start the Accumulo, it kept looping and indicating "waiting for initialization".

So I was doing some googling and found that the dataDir in the zoo.cfg was set to /tmp.

Luckily (I think) i have a snapshot of this system, so I restored from my last snapshot and it seems to be running all right now, but I want to fix that dataDir parameter, so I created a new directory, /apps/Zookeeper-data, and chmod'ed it to 777, but then, when I try to start Accumulo it just kind of hangs.

I saw from another place that I should run the "accumulo init" so I did that, and now, when I do start-all.sh, it seems like Accumulo is starting, but I cannot get to the Accumulo shell (it starts part wa, then seems to hang, a few lines after I enter the password:

I can go back to the snapshot that has the dataDir pointing to /tmp, but can someone tell me the steps that I would need to get the system running  after I change dataDir?

Thanks,
Jim
