Not able to create hbase using java

Question

I have written a simple java code for creating a table in hbase but somehow it is not working. I checked that all services are working fie i.e. HMaster, Regionserver and Zookeeper. Below is a code that i wrote

import java.io.IOException;
import org.apache.hadoop.conf.Configuration;
import org.apache.hadoop.hbase.HBaseConfiguration;
import org.apache.hadoop.hbase.HColumnDescriptor;
import org.apache.hadoop.hbase.HTableDescriptor;
import org.apache.hadoop.hbase.client.HBaseAdmin;
public class CreateSchema
{
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException
{

try
{
   HBaseConfiguration conf = new HBaseConfiguration(new Configuration());
   HBaseAdmin hbase = new HBaseAdmin(conf);
   HTableDescriptor desc = new HTableDescriptor("sample");
   HColumnDescriptor meta = new HColumnDescriptor("samplecolumn1".getBytes());
   HColumnDescriptor prefix = new HColumnDescriptor("samplecolumn2".getBytes());
   desc.addFamily(meta);
   desc.addFamily(prefix);
   System.out.println("Creating table");
   hbase.createTable(desc);
   System.out.println("Done");
    }
    catch(Exception e)
    {
    System.out.println("Error Ocuured");
    }

     }
    }

Here is a zookeeper log.

After running Hbase java programm nothing happens.

java CreateSchema

Creating table

Please let me know what could be the issue.

Answer 1

One of the reason this might occur is your hbase-site.xml is not available in the classpath.

When you run:

HBaseConfiguration conf = new HBaseConfiguration(new Configuration());

HbaseConfiguration based the hbase-site.xml is created.

PS: I ran your code as such in my eclipse and it worked fine. The table sample got created without any error.
