["Lars George (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

Lars George commented on HBASE-1173:
------------------------------------

I think this is what Jon and I talked about (in parts) at HUG11 to implement as 

{code}
$ hbase create-config
{code}

which guides the user through simple questions that creates the required configs. We can then revive this issue as opposed to creating a new one.

> There are some aspects of HBase configuration that will be daunting for new users. For example, Zookeeper configuration needs to list all hosts so it can determine quorum. New users won't necessarily even understand the distinction between HBase and Zookeeper.  Let's produce a bash configuration wizard that can generate all necessary config files or file edits based on the answers provided to a few simple questions. This will allow neophytes to quickly spin up clusters correctly without duplicating common errors. Advanced configuration is out of scope for this issue.
