Yes. You need to have the directory which contains hbase-site.xml in
the classpath of your java program.

HI Erik:
Thanks for your response. I set up hbase.rootdir to a directory in a hadoop
file system in hbase-site.xml, and setup an environmental variable
HBASE_HOME to the base dir of my installation.
In my case, "hbase shell" works fine, and I can create table, insert/scan
rows in tables. However, my java app failed with this "null pointer "
message. Do I need specify a environmental variable somewhere to let my app
know where to find the conf file?
Thanks.

Hi Charles!
Looking at the stack trace and going to
org.apache.hadoop.hbase.client.HConnectionManager.getConnection(HConnectionManager.java:89),
it seems like
the conf file you are using does not set the hbase.rootdir as described in
http://hadoop.apache.org/hbase/docs/current/api/index.html, can that be
the
case?
