i have written a following hbase client class for remote server:
System.out.println("Hbase Demo Application ");
// CONFIGURATION
// ENSURE RUNNING
try {
HBaseConfiguration config = new HBaseConfiguration();
config.clear();
config.set("hbase.zookeeper.quorum", "192.168.15.20");
config.set("hbase.zookeeper.property.clientPort","2181");
config.set("hbase.master", "192.168.15.20:60000");
//HBaseConfiguration config = HBaseConfiguration.create();
//config.set("hbase.zookeeper.quorum", "localhost"); // Here we are running zookeeper locally
HBaseAdmin.checkHBaseAvailable(config);
System.out.println("HBase is running!");
// createTable(config);
//creating a new table
HTable table = new HTable(config, "mytable");
System.out.println("Table mytable obtained ");
addData(table);
} catch (MasterNotRunningException e) {
System.out.println("HBase is not running!");
System.exit(1);
}catch (Exception ce){ ce.printStackTrace();
it is throwing some exception:

HBase is not running!
can you tell me why is it throwing an exception, what is wrong with code and how to solve it.
This problem is occuring due to your HBase server's hosts file.
You just need to edit you HBase server's /etc/hosts file.
Remove the localhost entry from that file and put the localhost entry in front of HBase server IP.
For example, your HBase server's /etc/hosts
files seems like this:
127.0.0.1 localhost
192.166.66.66 xyz.hbase.com hbase
You have to change it like this by removing localhost:
# 127.0.0.1 localhost # line commented out
192.166.66.66 xyz.hbase.com hbase localhost # note: localhost added here
This is because when remote machine asks hbase server machine where HMaster is running, it tells that it is running on localhost.
So if the entry is 127.0.0.1 then HBase server returns this address and remote machine start to find HMaster on its own machine (locally).
When we change that with the HBase Server IP then everything works fine :)
I agree.. The HBase is very sensitive to /etc/hosts configurations.. I had to set the zeekeeper bindings property in the hbase-site.xml correctly in order for the above mentioned Java code to work...For example: I had to set it as follows:
{property}
{name}hbase.zookeeper.quorum{/name}
{value}www.remoterg12.net{/value} {!-- this is the externally accessible domain --}
{/property}
{property}
{name}hbase.zookeeper.property.clientPort{/name}
{value}2181{/value} {!-- everything needs to be externally accessible --}
{/property}
{property}
{name}hbase.master.info.port{/name} {!-- http://www.remoterg12.net:60010/ --}
{value}60010{/value}
{/property}
{property}
{name}hbase.master.info.bindAddress{/name}
{value}www.remoterg12.net{/value} {!-- Use this to access the GUI console, --}
{/property}
The Remote GUI will give you a clear picture of the Binding Domains.. For example, the [HBase Master] property in the "GUI Web console" should be something like this: www.remoterg12.net:60010 (It should NOT be localhost:60010 )... AND YES!!, I did have to play around with the /etc/hosts just right as I didn't want to mess up the existing Apache configs :-)
