Hi Jignesh, "--config" (i.e. - - config) is the option to use and not "-config". Alternatively you can also set HBASE_CONF_DIR.
Below is the exact command line: $ hbase --config /home/ramya/hbase/conf shell hbase(main):001:0> create 'newtable','family' 0 row(s) in 0.5140 seconds hbase(main):002:0> list 'newtable' TABLE newtable 1 row(s) in 0.0120 seconds OR $ export HBASE_CONF_DIR=/home/ramya/hbase/conf $ hbase shell hbase(main):001:0> list 'newtable' TABLE newtable 1 row(s) in 0.3860 seconds Thanks Ramya On Thu, Oct 13, 2011 at 8:30 AM, jigneshmpatel <jigneshmpa...@gmail.com>wrote: > There is no command like -config see below > > Jignesh-MacBookPro:hadoop-hbase hadoop-user$ bin/hbase -config ./config > shell > Unrecognized option: -config > Could not create the Java virtual machine. > > -- > View this message in context: > http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/Hbase-with-Hadoop-tp3413950p3418924.html > Sent from the Hadoop lucene-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. >
