I was finally able to get this to work on both the Master and the Edge nodes. The change needed was already a known issue documented in the 1st FAQ here: https://kylin.apache.org/docs15/gettingstarted/faq.html
The issue was that the the /usr/lib/hbase/conf/hbase-env.sh was exporting CLASSPATH as below. export HBASE_CLASSPATH=/etc/hadoop/conf which needs to be changed to export HBASE_CLASSPATH=/etc/hadoop/conf:$HBASE_CLASSPATH Thanks for your time and help on this. -- Sent from: http://apache-kylin.74782.x6.nabble.com/
