unable to start hbase in distributed mode

[chandra <ch...@cognizant.com>]

hi

i'm trying to run hbase-0.2.1 on hadoop-0.17.2.1 in distributed mode(say
a cluster of 2 nodes)..
when i try to start hbase, i get error

master: /hadoop/hbase-0.2.1/bin/../conf/hbase-env.sh: line 29: export:
`/hadoop/hadoop-0.17.2.1/hadoop-0.17.2.1-core.jar': not a valid
identifier

but Hmaster and regionservers gets started.
i run an sample program , i get

...
08/10/20 16:11:02 INFO ipc.Client: Retrying connect to server:
localhost/127.0.0.1:60000. Already tried 9 time(s).
08/10/20 16:11:03 INFO ipc.Client: Retrying connect to server:

Retrying after sleep of 2000
08/10/20 16:11:06 INFO ipc.Client: Retrying connect to server:
localhost/127.0.0.1:60000. Already tried 1 time(s)....

i have followed the steps from hbase_wiki

stand-alone and pseudo-distributed mode works fine.

I might have gone wrong somewhere. i'm not sure why this config error
occurs..  Kindly help!!
