Not able to access HBase web UI

Question

I am following the quick start doc of HBase.

However, I cannot access HBase web UI.

I tried with these addresses:

• http://127.0.0.1:16010/
• http://localhost:16010/
• http://localhost:60010/

I tried different ports because the documentation says to use 60010, but the quickstart says 16010.

None of these works.

Here is my hbase-site.xml

<configuration>
<property>
    <name>hbase.rootdir</name>
    <value>file:///home/hduser/hbase</value>
  </property>
  <property>
    <name>hbase.zookeeper.property.dataDir</name>
    <value>/home/hduser/zookeeper</value>
  </property>
  <property>
    <name>hbase.unsafe.stream.capability.enforce</name>
    <value>false</value>
    <description>
      Controls whether HBase will check for stream capabilities (hflush/hsync).

      Disable this if you intend to run on LocalFileSystem, denoted by a rootdir
      with the 'file://' scheme, but be mindful of the NOTE below.

      WARNING: Setting this to false blinds you to potential data loss and
      inconsistent system state in the event of process and/or node failures. If
      HBase is complaining of an inability to use hsync or hflush it's most
      likely not a false positive.

  </property>
</configuration>

Note: Accessing the shell works well:

./hbase shell

Why can't I access the web UI ? What am I missing ?

Answer 1

HBase in standalone mode will just choose some random ports to listen on.

Go to 'logs' directory and do

grep 'Jetty' *

That'll show you the ports HBase has chosen to run its webservers on.
