> While writing an application that uses HBase I ran into the problem that although I have setup the hbase-site.xml in the {{HBASE_CONF_DIR}}; the settings in this file are not picked up in my application.
> In several places I find instructions to include things like the {{hbase.zookeeper.quorum}} in a properties file and the explicitly set these value from within the application (I have actually done this in the past quite a few times).
> Although this works I expect the system to automatically pickup the settings I have installed already which are picked up by tools like the hbase shell and pig.
> So I ended up writing this helper method:
> {code:java}
>     public static Configuration createConfiguration() {
>         String hbaseConfDir = System.getenv("HBASE_CONF_DIR");
>         if (hbaseConfDir == null) {
>             hbaseConfDir = "/etc/hbase/conf";
>         }
>         Configuration conf = HBaseConfiguration.create();
>         conf.addResource(new Path(hbaseConfDir + "/hbase-site.xml"));
>         return conf;
>     }
> {code}
> I expect HBaseConfiguration.create() to give me a working config in an environment where everything for all the other HBase clients has already been setup correctly.
> My proposal is to change the HBaseConfiguration.create() to effectively include what my helper method does.
