Hi, I am building a fully distributed hbase cluster with unmanaged zookeeper. I pretty much used this example and install hbase on top of it: https://github.com/kiwenlau/hadoop-cluster-docker
Hadoop and hdfs works fine but I get this exception with hbase: 2016-09-05 06:27:12,268 INFO [hadoop-master:16000.activeMasterManager] zookeeper.MetaTableLocator: Failed verification of hbase:meta,,1 at address=hadoop-slave2,16020,1473052276351, exception=org.apache.hadoop.hbase.NotServingRegionException: Region hbase:meta,,1 is not online on hadoop-slave2.hadoopnet,16020,1473056813966 at org.apache.hadoop.hbase.regionserver.HRegionServer.getRegionByEncodedName(HRegionServer.java:2910) This is bloking because any command I enter on the hbase shell will return the following error: ERROR: org.apache.hadoop.hbase.PleaseHoldException: Master is initializing The containers are runned using --net=hadoopnet which is a network create as such: docker network create --driver=bridge hadoopnet The hbase webui is showing this: Region Servers ServerName Start time Version Requests Per Second Num.

When I look at zk using: /usr/local/hbase/bin/hbase zkcli -server zk:2181 ls /hbase/rs I only see my 2 regionserver: hadoop-slave1,16020,1473056814064 and hadoop-slave2,16020,1473056813966 Looking at the zookeeper.MetaTableLocator: Failed verification error I see that hadoop-slave2,16020,1473052276351 and hadoop-slave2.hadoopnet,16020,1473056813966 get mixed up. here is my config on all server <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="configuration.xsl"?> <configuration> <property> <name>hbase.rootdir</name> <value>hdfs://hadoop-master:9000/hbase</value> <description>The directory shared by region servers.
