Re: HBase 0.92.0 Master won't start

[Jean-Daniel Cryans <jd...@apache.org>]

Actually hbase.rootdir must really be set to a directory, not just the
location of the Namenode. The appended ".oldlogs" is the master
opening up a path to where the old write ahead logs are archived but
"hdfs://10.40.0.156:9000" is not a folder.

At the very least OP should use this config if he wants to have hbase
write to the root of the FS (I do not recommend):
hdfs://10.40.0.156:9000/

This is the default one people normally use: hdfs://10.40.0.156:9000/hbase

I opened this jira since we should alert the user that his
hbase.rootdir is wrong:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-5327
