Unable to Create table and List tables to remote HBase using JAVA

Question

trying to connect HBase Remotely only, same code works in locally:

THIS IS PROGRAM:

public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
    HBaseConfiguration hconfig = new HBaseConfiguration(new Configuration());
    hconfig.set("hbase.zookeeper.quorum", "192.168.*.***");
    hconfig.set("hbase.master", "192.168.*.***:60000");
    hconfig.set("hbase.zookeeper.property.clientPort","2181");
    HTableDescriptor htable = new HTableDescriptor("User"); 
    htable.addFamily( new HColumnDescriptor("Id"));
    htable.addFamily( new HColumnDescriptor("Name"));
    System.out.println( "Connecting..." );
    HBaseAdmin hbase_admin = new HBaseAdmin( hconfig );
    System.out.println( "Creating Table..." );
    hbase_admin.createTable( htable );
    System.out.println("Done!");
}

After this line is throwing an error:

HBaseAdmin hbase_admin = new HBaseAdmin( hconfig );

Error:

15/10/06 11:22:05 INFO zookeeper.ClientCnxn: Session establishment complete on server quickstart.cloudera/192.168.*.***:2181, sessionid = 0x1503670c5dc00b5, negotiated timeout = 60000

These are my Jar files:

commons-configuration-1.6.jar
commons-lang-2.5.jar
commons-logging-1.1.1.jar
hadoop-core-1.0.0.jar
hadoop-common-1.0.0.jar
hbase-server-1.0.0-cdh5.4.2.jar
hbase-client-1.0.0-cdh5.4.2.jar
hbase-0.92.0.jar log4j-1.2.16.jar
slf4j-api-1.5.8.jar
slf4j-log4j12-1.5.8.jar
zookeeper-3.4.2.jar 

and includes all the jar files which are located in hadoop path /usr/lib/hbase/lib/

And I have copy the hbase-site.xml file to my project and also add the remote ip address into etc/host file too.

I'm facing problems, while creating a new table in to remote hbase and trying to fetch table list from hbase using java client!

But with the same jar files, I can able to do other more operations like Get, Put and other few, except Creating table and Listing Table!

Kindly do favor me.

Answer 1

Add the following dependency in your pom.xml file

<dependency>
     <groupId>org.apache.hbase</groupId>
     <artifactId>hbase-client<artifactId>
     <version>1.1.0.1</version>
<dependency>

Instead of setting hbase configuration details individually add hbase-site.xml & core-site.xml as resources to Configuration object and use it

Configuration config = HBaseConfiguration.create();
config.addResource(new Path("/etc/hbase/conf/hbase-site.xml"));
config.addResource(new Path("/etc/hadoop/conf/core-site.xml"));

Once you have Configuration object create the Connection and get Admin object

Connection connection = ConnectionFactory.createConnection(config);
Admin admin = connection.getAdmin();

And then you can use the following code snippet to create HBase table along with the column families.

if (!admin.isTableAvailable(TableName.valueOf("user"))) {
    HTableDescriptor hbaseTable = new HTableDescriptor(TableName.valueOf("user"));
    hbaseTable.addFamily(new HColumnDescriptor("id"));
    hbaseTable.addFamily(new HColumnDescriptor("name"));
    admin.createTable(hbaseTable);
}

Answer 2

Since you were able to perform put and get, it should not be a jar issue. Can you try adding this property zookeeper.znode.parent with value "/hbase-unsecure" in hbase config. Its the the root znode that will contain all the znodes created/used by HBase. In zookeeper client jar, this value is "/hbase". Compare it with your config xml files. You can look here

Answer 3

I had similar problem. I fixed it by opening the following ports in the HBase nodes:

1. 60000
2. 60010
3. 60020
4. 9090

In Centos 7:

sudo firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=60000/tcp --permanent
sudo firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=60010/tcp --permanent
sudo firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=60020/tcp --permanent
sudo firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=9090/tcp --permanent
sudo firewall-cmd --reload
