Spark-HBase connector issue (Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/hbase/thirdparty/com/google/protobuf/RpcController)

[#1]

I am new to Spark and wanted to read/write data to/from HBase tables. I encountered an error while reading from HBase tables.

Versions: Spark: 2.4.7; HBase: 1.4.13; Scala: 2.11.12

Command: 

spark-shell --jars /usr/lib/hbase/shc/core/target/shc-core-1.1.3-2.4-s_2.11.jar,/usr/lib/hbase/lib/htrace-core4-4.1.0-incubating.jar,/usr/lib/hbase/hbase-client-2.4.0.jar,/usr/lib/hbase/hbase-common-2.4.0.jar,/usr/lib/hbase/hbase-server-2.4.0.jar,/usr/lib/hbase/hbase-protocol-2.4.0.jar,/usr/lib/hbase/lib/htrace-core4-4.1.0-incubating.jar,/usr/lib/hbase/hbase-shaded-miscellaneous-2.2.1.jar,/usr/lib/hbase/hbase-protocol-shaded-2.4.0.jar

Please guide on how to resolve this and be able to read/write data to/from HBase using Spark.

[#2]

@Paarth You might have to adjust jars. Check one similar issue here: https://community.cloudera.com/t5/Support-Questions/java-lang-ClassNotFoundException-org-apache-hbas...

Hi @Paarth 

Spark HBase Connector (SHC) is not supported in CDP. You need to use HBase Spark Connector to access the HBase data using Spark.

You can find the sample reference:
