Hey,
Here are some answers:
1. The directory setting is:
<name>hbase.rootdir</name>
<value>file:///tmp/hbase-${user.name}/hbase</value>
<description>The directory shared by region servers.
Should be fully-qualified to include the filesystem to use.
E.g: hdfs://NAMENODE_SERVER:PORT/HBASE_ROOTDIR
</description>
adjust that in your hbase-site.xml as you wish. I have mine set to:
hdfs://master:9000/hbase
It is conceivable to run HBase on a shared-directory system like NFS, but I
haven't heard of anyone doing that.
2. There is a thrift API, which you can hook up any thrift-client to. This
includes perl.
3. The docs online, try irc, there are a number of things there.
4. What kind of GUI would you like? You could write your own web one?
There is the bin/hbase shell which gives admin access to the system - do you
need more than that?
