hadoop - Why do I need to keep hbase/lib folder in hdfs?

Question

I have a main cluster which has some data in Hbase, and I want to replicate it. I've already created a backup cluster and created snapshot of the table I want to replicate. I am trying to export the snapshot from source cluster to destination, but I am getting some errors. I am executing

./hbase org.apache.hadoop.hbase.snapshot.ExportSnapshot -snapshot mySnap -copy-to hdfs://198.58.88.11:9000/hbase

and as a result of execution I got

SLF4J: Class path contains multiple SLF4J bindings.
SLF4J: Found binding in [jar:file:/home/vagrant/hbase/lib/slf4j-log4j12-1.7.7.jar!/org/slf4j/impl/StaticLoggerBinder.class]

So, as I understood, it tries to find base-client-1.0.0.jar But is looking in hdfs://namenode:9000/home/vagrant/hbase/lib/hbase-client-1.0.0.jar and not in local storage. Any ideas why it is happening?

Answer 1

In my case the cause of the problem was misconfiguration of yarn and map-reduce. After configuring them correctly, I was able to export a snapshot without problems.

Make your mapred-site.xml to looks like this

<configuration>
   <property>
      <name>mapreduce.framework.name</name>
      <value>yarn</value>
   </property>
   <property>
      <name>mapreduce.jobtracker.address</name>
      <value>cluster2.master:8021</value>
   </property>
</configuration>

And yarn-site.xml

<property>
  <name>yarn.resourcemanager.hostname</name>
  <value>cluster2.master</value>
  <description>The hostname of the RM.</description>
</property>
<property>
  <name>yarn.nodemanager.aux-services</name>
  <value>mapreduce_shuffle</value>
  <description>shuffle service that needs to be set for Map Reduce to run </description>
</property>

cluster2.master should be changed according to your settings.
