My test cluster has only one zookeeper instance. When running 'hbase shell' on one of the instances (i.e. not via the proxy), I get this error: ERROR: org.apache.hadoop.hbase.ZooKeeperConnectionException: An error is preventing HBase from connecting to ZooKeeper
I think this could be fixed in the configure_zookeeper script (as well as the cdh variant): https://svn.apache.org/viewvc/incubator/whirr/trunk/services/zookeeper/src/main/resources/functions/configure_zookeeper.sh?view=markup Line 64-79 takes care of adding the servers to /etc/zookeeper/zoo.cfg. However if there is only one zookeeper instance, nothing gets added. In other words, the "if [[ $# -gt 1 ]]" should be removed. Does that seem right? (I can do the whole Jira/Test/Patch thing, but wanted to be sure it's a bug) -- Karel Vervaeke http://outerthought.org/ Open Source Content Applications Makers of Kauri, Daisy CMS and Lily
