Hi,

Have a quick workaround to start hbase on 64-bit windows

Launch standalone zookeeper (don't add regional servers in the zoo.cfg) and
keep hbase.cluster.distributed set to false

Hbase was able to connect to zookeeper server (probably a failover due to
internal error in hbase itself, there is definitely something wrong in the
way hbase handles its own zookeeper initiation)

(Zookeeper instructions are in the usual place:
http://hadoop.apache.org/zookeeper/docs/current/zookeeperStarted.html)

Using hbase 0.20.2 and zookeeper 3.2 versions

performed some tests with sample table I/O all looks fine., hopefully this
will keep you going until "self-managed" zookeeper in hbase is closely
looked at

cheers

Thank you Andrew for the below.  You were running all in cygwin I take it?
 Should we update this document:
http://hadoop.apache.org/hbase/docs/r0.20.2/cygwin.html?

St.Ack

Hi stack

Environment is cygwin (version 1.7), Windows 7 64-bit

This was the only way I could manage to get hbase up (with a standalone
zookeeper server) , problem does not exist on Unix (Centos) but that is
expected also I am working to have complete installation
hadoop/hbase/zookeeper running on the Mac will be happy to follow up on
issues.

As far as adding "workaround", absolutely (I tried just about anything, as
the original author of this issues, I have had no problems running
"self-managed" zookeeper on Windows 32-bit XP

(fyi, I did not try to "force" IPv4 , but I did try change cygwin sshd and
ssh configuration files to use IPV4, no effect),

btw, thanks for your great work, product (hadoop family) is phenomenal!

cheers
Following are sequenced steps and configuration files used (IndexedRegion
server parameters is of course optional)

Sequence of run:

1.start zookeeper (zkServer.sh start)  (ping to check "live" status:
zkCli.sh -server 127.0.0.1:2181

2. start hadoop

3. start hbase

<configuration>
  <property>
        <name>hbase.rootdir</name>
        <value>hdfs://localhost:9000/hbase</value>
        <description>The directory shared by region servers.
     </description>
    </property>
    <property>
        <name>hbase.cluster.distributed</name>
        <value>false</value>
        <description>The mode the cluster will be in. Possible values are
      false: standalone and pseudo-distributed setups with managed Zookeeper
      true: fully-distributed with unmanaged Zookeeper Quorum (see
hbase-env.sh)

    </property>

<value>org.apache.hadoop.hbase.regionserver.tableindexed.IndexedRegionServer</value>
    </property>

</configuration>

and  zoo.cfg file

# The number of milliseconds of each tick
tickTime=2000
# The number of ticks that the initial
# synchronization phase can take
initLimit=10
# The number of ticks that can pass between
# sending a request and getting an acknowledgement
syncLimit=5
# the directory where the snapshot is stored.
dataDir=/opt/zookeeper/data
# the port at which the clients will connect

Hi,

correct hbase configuration file (hbase.zookeeper.quorum needs to be set to
127.0.0.1)

thanks!
