Got it. I can't run the integration tests for now because I'm lacking some servers :( Need to complete some HBase on RAID tests before I can get those new servers
First thing is, start-hbase.cmd has the execute flag set. I don't think it's required. And it will help with tabulation feature if we can un-set it. For 0.96.0RC0 here are my results: First, I get 2 .out files. each time I start the server, instead of usually one... With the same timestamp. -rw-r--r-- 1 jmspaggiari jmspaggiari 0 Aug 31 15:38 hbase-jmspaggiari-master-t430s.out -rw-r--r-- 1 jmspaggiari jmspaggiari 0 Aug 31 15:38 hbase-jmspaggiari-master-t430s.out.1 In the UI, we say "The .META. table holds references to all User Table regions" but the table name is "hbase:meta" and not ".META." On the logs, I found this exception that I did not had before: 2013-08-31 18:45:05,490 WARN [NIOServerCxn.Factory:0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0:2181] server.NIOServerCnxn: caught end of stream exception EndOfStreamException: Unable to read additional data from client sessionid 0x140d68bb9d50004, likely client has closed socket at org.apache.zookeeper.server.NIOServerCnxn.doIO(NIOServerCnxn.java:220) at org.apache.zookeeper.server.NIOServerCnxnFactory.run(NIOServerCnxnFactory.java:208) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:662) I ran PE over 48h. I don't have another 0.96 baseline to compare with, so I compared with 0.94. org.apache.hadoop.hbase.PerformanceEvaluation$RandomSeekScanTest is about 3 times slower with 0.96. org.apache.hadoop.hbase.PerformanceEvaluation$RandomScanWithRange100Test seems to be 2 times faster. Writes also are faster but I changed my hard drive since I ran 0.94. So I'm currently re-running 0.94 and will provide another more accurate comparison soon. Ran LoadTestTool: Failed to write keys: 0 I have not been able to run IntegrationTestLoadAndVerify nor IntegrationTestBigLinkedList because of the lack of servers. So overall, it seems to be working fine, but I have not been able to test this release as deeply as I'm usually testing the 0.94 releases. JM
