Hi Anil We also do a lot of stuff with coprocessors MasterObservers, RegionObservers and WALObservers. Just start your master and RS in debug mode and connect remotely from eclipse. This should be fine. Whenever the code goes to the RegionObserver or any observers automatically you will be able to debug. Only thing is ensure that the JAR that is running remotely and your current source code are in sync. Otherwise you may not go thro the exact lines.
You can add debug mode to your JAVA_OPTS like this exec "$JAVA" $JAVA_HEAP_MAX $HBASE_OPTS -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,address=4530,server=y,suspend=n -classpath "$CLASSPATH" $CLASS "$@ Hope this helps.
