Hi All,

I've HDP 2.4 & i'm trying to put data into HBase table using Java API, it gives error shown below,

Any ideas pls let me know. Code used to add data to the HBase table (java file attached) -> accessobjectjava.txt public Put mkPut(User u){ Put p = new Put(Bytes.toBytes(u.user)); p.add(INFO_FAMILY, USER_COL, Bytes.toBytes(u.user)); p.add(INFO_FAMILY, NAME_COL, Bytes.toBytes(u.name)); p.add(INFO_FAMILY, EMAIL_COL, Bytes.toBytes(u.email)); return p; }

public void addUser(String user, String name, String email) throws IOException{ HTableInterface users = connection.getTable(TABLE_NAME); Put p = mkPut(new User(user,name,email)); users.put(p); users.close(); } ---------------------------------ERROR ON CONSOLE--------------------------------------------------------

after looking at the attached program it seems that you are not initializing the configuration object properly. you need to do something like this to create configuration object

Configuration conf =HBaseConfiguration.create();

conf.set("hbase.zookeeper.property.clientPort","2181");

conf.set("hbase.zookeeper.quorum","<hostname>");

conf.set("zookeeper.znode.parent","/hbase");

please refer this to create connection object
