I just started with hbase. Therefore I created a table and filled this
table with some data. But after restarting my computer all the data
has gone. This even happens when stopping hbase with stop-hbase.sh.

How can this happen?

Which HBase / hadoop version were you using ?

Did you start the cluster in standalone mode ?

Thanks

I installed hbase via brew.

brew install hadoop hbase pig hive

Then I started hbase via start-hbase.sh command. Therefore I'm pretty
sure it is a standalone version.

Hello Paul,

The default location for hbase data is /tmp so when you restart your
machine it will be deleted, you need to change it as per
http://hbase.apache.org/book.html#quickstart
