kramerli commented on HBASE-14236: ---------------------------------- Thanks for the reply. Yes, quick start should has minimal required config. However the advanced section is also part of the quick start. http://hbase.apache.org/book.html#quickstart_fully_distributed Newbee who follow the instruction to setup the env and find there is fatal error will feel very frustrated. My suggestion is to add some text like this: """ Please be noted that in current Hbase version, the master or backup master server is also a type of region server. So when you decide to start the region server and backup master on the same node for example node-b.example.com. It will hit error as the port can be used for only one of them. To resolve this issue you can edit config/hbase-site.xml add below config <property> <name> hbase.regionserver.port </name> <value> 18020 </value> <source> hbase-default.xml </source> </property> This will force the region server to use some different port to avoid the conflict. """ I think the text can be added at the "Procedure: Prepare node-b and node-c". :) > A bug in Reference Guide, Quick Start section > --------------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-14236 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-14236 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Bug > Components: documentation > Affects Versions: 1.0.1.1 > Environment: CentOS Linux release 7.1.1503 (Core) > Reporter: kramerli > Fix For: 1.0.1.1 > > Original Estimate: 1h > Remaining Estimate: 1h > > This is an error on online documation. > (http://hbase.apache.org/book.html#_get_started_with_hbase ). > To locate the error you can go to > 2.2. Get Started with HBase > Example 2. Example hbase-site.xml for Standalone HBase > The config example here do not specify a port for the region server. So When > you go to the 2.4 Advanced - Fully Distributed > (http://hbase.apache.org/book.html#quickstart_fully_distributed). You will > hit error. > Because the region server will conflict with backup master or master. As they > use the same port. > People who read this section are always newbee, this will confuse them. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
