Hi,
Please help!!

HBase version: 0.94
ZooKeeper: 3.4.4

One of the regional servers stopped very quickly after HBASE is started:

### Check JPS after HBASE cluster was started, could find the HRegionServer process (*** there is no any ZooKeeper instance running in this server ***)
$ jps
24767 Jps
18418 TaskTracker
24678 HRegionServer
18156 DataNode

### Wait a while and checked JPS again,  HRegionServer process gone
$ jps
18418 TaskTracker
24784 Jps
18156 DataNode
### Here is the setting in hbase-site.xml ( enabled hbase.cluster.distributed, set up 3 ZooKeepers, timeout= 60000)
<property>
<name>hbase.cluster.distributed</name>
<value>true</value>
</property>

<property>
<name>hbase.ZooKeeper.quorum</name>
<value>m146,m145,m143</value>
</property>

<property>
<name>zookeeper.session.timeout</name>
<value>60000</value>
</property>
### hbase-env.sh also tells HBASE not to manage local instance of ZooKeeper
export HBASE_MANAGES_ZK=false
###This server can connect to the 3 ZooKeepers,
./zkCli.sh -server m145,m146,m143   ==>  [zk: m145,m146,m143(CONNECTED) 0]
### checked the hbase log file, found something odd,  seemed that it tried to connect local ZooKeeper

Thanks

Hi,
I have the following line in /etc/hosts in all servers, should I keep it or comment it out or ...?

127.0.0.1       localhost

Please help.

Thanks

Hi,

What do you have on your HBase configuration? Are you passing the name
of the Quorum servers?
$ cat conf/hbase-site.xml
......
  </property>
    <property>
      <name>hbase.zookeeper.quorum</name>
      <value>cube,latitude,node3</value>
      <description>Comma separated list of servers in the ZooKeeper Quorum.
      For example, "host1.mydomain.com,host2.mydomain.com,host3.mydomain.com".
      By default this is set to localhost for local and pseudo-distributed modes
      of operation. For a fully-distributed setup, this should be set to a full
      list of ZooKeeper quorum servers. If HBASE_MANAGES_ZK is set in
hbase-env.sh
      this is the list of servers which we will start/stop ZooKeeper on.
      </description>
    </property>

Hi,

Here are my HBase configuration and test:

1) {$HBASE_HOME}hbase/conf/hbase-site.xml
<property>
<name>hbase.ZooKeeper.quorum</name>
<value>m146,m145,m143</value>
</property>

<property>
<name>zookeeper.session.timeout</name>
<value>60000</value>
</property>
2) {$HBASE_HOME}hbase/conf/hbase-env.sh
export HBASE_MANAGES_ZK=false
3) I used " {$ZK_HOME}/bin/zkCli.sh -server m145,m146,m143"  to test the connection, it worked
[zk: m145,m146,m143(CONNECTED) 0]
4) from the logs, I found that the connectString was odd, the RegionServer did not use the setting of "hbase.ZooKeeper.quorum" in conf/hbase-site.xml, it seemed that it always used the default and tried to connect "localhost:2181" in the distributed cluster:

2012-11-21 17:21:42,299 INFO org.apache.zookeeper.ZooKeeper: Initiating client connection, connectString=localhost:2181 sessionTimeout=60000 watcher=regionserver:60020

Can you do JPS on your master and look at the logs too?

Another think, can you try with hbase.zookeeper.quorum instead of
hbase.ZooKeeper.quorum?

Hi

I changed the order of ZooKeepers in the value of hbase.zookeeper.quorum,  from "m146,m145,m143" to "m143,m145,m146", set timeout from 60000 to 70000, and commented out lzo property.  it works now, here is the diff

Above is the only change today .
2) hbase log:
2012-11-22 07:26:19,431 INFO org.apache.zookeeper.ZooKeeper: Initiating client connection, connectString=m145:2181,m143:2181,m146:2181 sessionTimeout=70000 watcher=regionserver:6$
I don't know why but it works now. It seems that hbase somehow could not read in hbase-site.xml correctly.
Thanks

I think the MAIN difference is the uppercase on the property... Seems
that hbase-site.xml is case sensitive (which seems to be normal in
Java and unix world).

You might want to retry by putting back the uppercase to see if this
was the issue.

Hi JM,

Thank you!

it is case sensitive indeed, a simple change of  'z' brings back ALL RegionServers (and a 'Z' could bring down all too), I spent few hours on other areas and hadn't realized this 'Z' effect.

Thanks again.
