Nick's suggestions appear to have helped, but we're not home yet. Start-up, CLI:
$./bin/start-hbase.sh starting master, logging to /Users/robertfutrelle/Research/HBase/hbase/bin/../logs/hbase-robertfutrelle-master-Macintosh.local.out Then I run my Java code, w. conf.set(…) commented out per Nick's suggestion. 23 lines of output in Eclipse console. Last line of the 23 is, 12/12/18 12:56:51 INFO zookeeper.ClientCnxn: Session establishment complete on server localhost/0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1:2181, sessionid = 0x13baf2762e80004, negotiated timeout = 40000 Then this exception brings things to a halt, Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/google/protobuf/Message I'm a bit confused by the mixed approach in which I start HBase from the command line and then execute Java code. How do the two come together? Thank you, everyone, for your continued help. As for security, it's not even listed in the index of Lars George's HBase book. I'm confident that *persistence* will get things working (see my PS below). - Bob PS on persistence: Nothing in the world can take the place of Persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan 'Press On' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race. <http://www.quotationspage.com/quote/2771.html> [image: [info]] <http://www.quotationspage.com/quote/2771.html>[image: [add]] <http://www.quotationspage.com/myquotations.php?add=2771>[image: [mail]] <http://www.quotationspage.com/quote/2771.html#email>[image: [note]]<http://www.quotationspage.com/quote/2771.html#note> *Calvin Coolidge* On Tue, Dec 18, 2012 at 3:19 AM, Nick Dimiduk <ndimi...@gmail.com> wrote: > Are you using secure HBase?
