I cannot connect to HBase running in Docker on Windows (banno/hbase-standalone image). However, I can connect to locally installed HBase.
banno/hbase-standalone image is run using:
docker run -d -p 2181:2181 -p 60000:60000 -p 60010:60010 -p 60020:60020 -p 60030:60030 banno/hbase-standalone
I also set up the port forwarding on the boot2docker-vm
(which is required when running on Windows):
I can successfully telnet to all those ports on my localhost.
Next, here is a code sample that we use in our tests:
Configuration config = HBaseConfiguration.create();
config.clear();
config.setInt("timeout", 12000);
config.set("zookeeper.znode.parent", "/hbase");
config.set("hbase.zookeeper.quorum", "127.0.0.1");
config.set("hbase.zookeeper.property.clientPort", "2181");
config.set("hbase.master", "127.0.0.1:60000");
final Configuration configuration = HBaseConfiguration.create(config);
JobDefinition.Buildable.dumpProperties(configuration, newArrayList("hbase.*"));
HBaseAdmin.checkHBaseAvailable(config);
Which causes the following exception

This is explainable. We run Windows, which requires boot2docker-vm
virtual machine running using NAT. The Docker container of the image is running inside the boot2docker-vm
also using NAT. However, the ports are "visible" to the host machine running tests, since Docker container exports the ports, and the boot2docker-vm
forwards the ports the host machine. The name a3e6c240af20
actually comes from the Docker container ID, so probably a3e6c240af20
is a hostname for the Docker container :
CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES
a3e6c240af20 banno/hbase-standalone:latest "/bin/sh -c '/opt/hb 24 minutes ago Up 24 minutes 0.0.0.0:2181->2181/tcp, 0.0.0.0:60000->60000/tcp, 0.0.0.0:60010->60010/tcp, 0.0.0.0:60020->60020/tcp, 0.0.0.0:60030->60030/tcp agitated_wozniak
I am not sure how exactly HBase communication works, but apparently it makes RPC calls to the instance. HBase Docker returns its hostname hoping that the client will call it there. But since both boot2docker-vm
and Docker container running using NAT, the host machine does not see the Docker container.
I tried to add a3e6c240af20
to my hosts file:
127.0.0.1 a3e6c240af20
Then I get a different error, also during the RPC call, which actually does not help me much:

Does anyone have a suggestion how this can be solved?
Try add [boot2docker IP] a3e6c240af20
instead of 127.0.0.1
because HBase Java client needs to reach your docker's host
not exactly localhost
to reach zookeeper (CMIIW). Not pretty sure if it will works but it works in my Windows.
