I'm attempting to try out Phoenix but am unable to run it. I have no familiarity with the product; I'm simply following the quick start instructions and unable to run the product.
I followed the instructions on the installation page ( http://phoenix.apache.org/download.html#Installation): - Download and expand the latest phoenix-[version]-bin.tar. Use either hadoop1 and hadoop2 artifacts which match your HBase installation. Done. - Add the phoenix-[version]-server.jar to the classpath of every HBase region server and remove any previous version. An easy way to do this is to copy it into the HBase lib directory (use phoenix-core-[version].jar for Phoenix 3.x) - Restart all region servers. I added the server jar file to the HBase lib folder. I also started the HBase server, did the HBase "getting started" tutorial, hit the HBase web app, and everything checked out. - Add the phoenix-[version]-client.jar to the classpath of any Phoenix client. I added the Phoenix directory (which has all the jars) to the server's classpath. I then ran sqlline, which went away for almost 10 minutes, and then came back, saying that it couldn't connect: [user@localhost bin]$ ./sqlline.py localhost Setting property: [isolation, TRANSACTION_READ_COMMITTED] issuing: !connect jdbc:phoenix:localhost none none org.apache.phoenix.jdbc.PhoenixDriver Connecting to jdbc:phoenix:localhost 15/01/11 14:08:12 WARN util.NativeCodeLoader: Unable to load native-hadoop library for your platform... using builtin-java classes where applicable 15/01/11 14:17:23 WARN client.HConnectionManager$HConnectionImplementation: Encountered problems when prefetch hbase:meta table: org.apache.hadoop.hbase.client.RetriesExhaustedException: Failed after attempts=35, exceptions: Sun Jan 11 14:08:13 PST 2015, org.apache.hadoop.hbase.client.RpcRetryingCaller@4d620042, java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused Sun Jan 11 14:08:13 PST 2015, org.apache.hadoop.hbase.client.RpcRetryingCaller@4d620042, org.apache.hadoop.hbase.ipc.RpcClient$FailedServerException: This server is in the failed servers list: localhost/127.0.0.1:39821 Sun Jan 11 14:08:13 PST 2015, org.apache.hadoop.hbase.client.RpcRetryingCaller@4d620042, org.apache.hadoop.hbase.ipc.RpcClient$FailedServerException: This server is in the failed servers list: localhost/127.0.0.1:39821 I tried this multiple times, but it never connected. There aren't enough details in the installation instructions or quick start page to know what to check. Any idea what the problem is or how to fix it? Thanks!
