Hi, I would like to direct you to the reference guide, but I must acknowledge that, well, it's a reference guide, hence not really easy for a plain new start. You should have a look at Lars' blog (and may be buy his book), and especially this entry: http://www.larsgeorge.com/2009/10/hbase-architecture-101-storage.html
Some hints however: - the replication occurs at the hdfs level, not the hbase level: hbase writes files that are split in hdfs blocks that are replicated accross the datanodes. If you want to check the replications, you must look at what files are written by hbase and how they have been split in blocks by hdfs and how these blocks have been replicated. That will be in the hdfs interface. As a side note, it's not the easiest thing to learn when you start :-) - The error > ERROR: org.apache.hadoop.hbase.MasterNotRunningException: Retried 7 times this is not linked to replication or whatever. It means that second machine cannot find the master. You need to fix this first. (googling & checking the logs).
