>          Components: documentation
>         Environment: java version "1.6.0_23"
> OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea6 1.11pre) (6b23~pre11-1)

> Under Linux with OpenJDK 1.6, using a file:///XX URL in the config file creates a directory called 'file:' in the hbase root directory. If I use a standard Unix absolute path, it works as expected. This may work on other platforms, but it would be good to add a note in the example:
> {code}
> <?xml version="1.0"?>
> <?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="configuration.xsl"?>
> <configuration>
>   <property>
>     <name>hbase.rootdir</name>
>     <!-- Depending on your platform, this may create a 'file:' directory
>          in hbase home instead of the desired behavior. Try using a standard
>          platform specific absolute path instead. -->
>     <value>file:///DIRECTORY/hbase</value>
>   </property>
> </configuration>
> {code}
