The node /hbase is not in ZooKeeper

Question

I am a newbie in Hadoop trying to install Hbase in pseudo distributed mode, version hbase-0.98.10.1-hadoop1-bin, with Hadoop 2.5.2 . I am not able to add a table.

Following error continues when I try to create a table :

client.HConnectionManager$HConnectionImplementation: The node /hbase is not in ZooKeeper. It should have been written by the master. Check the value configured in 'zookeeper.znode.parent'. There could be a mismatch with the one configured in the master.

It finally after displaying the error many times (about 50 times) gives the final error as:

ERROR: The node /hbase is not in ZooKeeper. It should have been written by the master. Check the value configured in 'zookeeper.znode.parent'. There could be a mismatch with the one configured in the master.

Latest entry of log file is:

What could be the possible error? Any help is appreciated.

Answer 1

It Just Worked after using a different hbase version. I was using hbase-0.98.10.1-hadoop1-bin, which was not compatible with my hadoop 2.5.2, so I changed hbase version to hbase-X.XX.XX.X-hadoop2-bin (which was compatible for hadoop 2.X ) and followed Apache's installation steps. Thank you all..

Answer 2

It means the zookeeper has not the node '/hbase',so create a node name '/hbase' in zookeeper.go to the zkCli and run the 'create /hbase "" ' command.
