How to run HBase shell against a remote cluster
Make changes to the following conf files.
- For hadoop: core-site.xml, mapred-site.xml.
- For hbase: hbase-site.xml.
You could create multiple versions of these files and switch between them as needed.
I'm using following command:
hbase --config "path to folder with config files" shellFolder with configuration should contain at least hbase-site.xml with content:
<configuration> <property> <name>hbase.cluster.distributed</name> <value>true</value> </property> <property> <name>hbase.zookeeper.quorum</name> <value>zk1,zk2,zk3</value> </property> <property> <name>zookeeper.znode.parent</name><!--or /hbase--> <value>/hbase-unsecure</value> </property></configuration>
change hbase-site.xml add zookeeper host port with hbase server.
<configuration><property> <name>hbase.zookeeper.quorum</name> <value>zk.hostname</value></property></configuration>
