Transport exception

Question

I'm trying to import happybase but gets the following error message while connecting. I have Hadoop pseudonode cluster and Hbase already running. Version of the components installed are as follows, Hadoop version - 1.0.4 Hbase version - 0.94.4 happybase -0.4

Can someone have a look into the exceptions below and let me know, if any thrift specific settings or any guidance in getting this fixed.

Thank you.

Answer 1

make sure you have thrift server started before you try to connect.

hbase thrift start -threadpool

Answer 2

The trift server hast to be up and running. Your connection has to be opened as well:

nohup hbase thrift start &

Open connection in python before use:

connection.open()

Example:

#!/usr/bin/python
import happybase
connection = happybase.Connection('localhost', autoconnect=False)
connection.open()

Answer 3

connection = happybase.Connection('localhost','2181')

Answer 4

this worked for me:

sudo server hbase-thrift restart
