HBase Shell giving error

[#1]

NoMethodError: undefined method `getTerminal' for Java::Jline::Terminal:Module

I found it required higher version of protobuf jar so I updated HBase lib by replacing to protobuf-java-3.1.0.jar from protobuf-java-2.5.0.jar, still facing same error.

[#2 · Accepted solution]

Did you make any changes in the hbase classpath or any new jars added to the lib directory? It seems that you have wrong jline there.

@ssoldatov

I did not changed hbase classpath, I just replace protobuf jar that I mentioned above

[#4]

I would suggest to return back the original protobuf (there was a thread about a similar issue somewhere on the internet, but this issue is not relevant to the protobuf). And check that no new jars were added to the HBase lib directory (like phoenix-client for example).

[#5]

As suggested I return back the original protobuf, but still facing same error. There is no new jar is added in /hbase/lib but we have phoenix, ranger etc jar as I installed all this by Ambari.

[#6]

Can you run ls -la /usr/hdp/2.5.0.0-1245/hbase/lib/*.jar and attach output here?

@ssoldatov

Thanks...!

In /usr/hdp/current/hbase-master/lib

1. protobuf-java-3.1.0.jar -> /usr/ibmpacks/current/bigmatch/hbase/lib/protobuf-java-3.1.0.jar
2. spark-assembly-1.6.2.2.5.0.0-1245-hadoop2.7.3.2.5.0.0-1245.jar -> /usr/ibmpacks/current/bigmatch/hbase/lib/sparkassembly-1.6.2.2.5.0.0-1245-hadoop2.7.3.2.5.0.0-1245.jar

I unlink above two and changed protobuf-java-3.1.0.jar from protobuf-java-2.5.0.jar in /hbase/lib and follow below link.

It worked for me.

@HARISH BAJPAI

NoMethodError indicates that you are not using the correct version of jar in the classpath.

This is because the "protobuf-java-2.5.0.jar" might be having some classes with different method signature and the newer jar might have different syntax of those methods so you will get errors like you are getting. [NoMethodError: undefined method `getTerminal']

Which means in the newer version of the jar "getTerminal" method seems to be removed.

@jss

In this case what should me next course of action?

[#10]

@HARISH BAJPAI

Please do not try to upgrade individual JARs Major Version. Because with every major version change many APIs are changed completely, Like some methods are added new/ some methods are removed and some methods signature is changed. So i will suggest you to not to upgrade the Major version (from 2.5.0 to 3.1.0 ). Please revert back to your old jar "protobuf-java-2.5.0.jar"

For example you can refer to the following link which says that lots of methods have been removed between 2.5 and 3.0 version of Protobuf-java

https://abi-laboratory.pro/java/tracker/timeline/protobuf-java/

You can get the details by clicking on the "Removed Methods" and "Added Methods" links

[#12]

Hbase in HDP-2.5 will NOT work with protobuf-3.0. Please refrain from manually changing libraries or classpath entries of any of the HDP components.

[#13]

I have HDP2.5, I changed protobuf-3.0 with default one.

[#14]

cat /etc/hbase/conf/hbase-site.xml |grep -1 hbase.tmp, please make sure chmod 777 to hbase.tmp.dir . Things should work after same.

[#15]

[root@HDCLUS01-HOST6 lib]# cat /etc/hbase/conf/hbase-site.xml |grep -1 hbase.tmp

<name>hbase.local.dir</name>

<value>${hbase.tmp.dir}/local</value>

</property>

--

<property>

<name>hbase.tmp.dir</name>

<value>/tmp/hbase-${user.name}</value>

----------------------------------------------------------- As mentioned above I provide chmod 777, but my bad still getting same error

[#16]

I changed jruby-complete-1.7.4.jar to jruby-complete-1.6.8 in /hbase/lib, I tried to restart HBase but not Hmaster is stopped with "Connection refused to hdclus01-host6:16000"
