Spark and HBase

I am trying to write to HBase from SparkStreaming job.

I get the following exception when calling:

table.put(_config,put);

java.lang.NullPointerException

at org.apache.hadoop.hbase.zookeeper.ZooKeeperWatcher.getMetaReplicaNodes(ZooKeeperWatcher.java:269)

I see that the configuration value is not correct but I tried to set up values I don't know exactly which values to setup

I am running on azure with hortonworks sandbox and running the job via spark-submit with --jars supplying the entire jars needed to run. (spark version 1.6)

The streaming is running perfect except that I cant write to HBase

Here is my code to put data:

class Adapter extendsSerializable{
var_conf = new HBaseConfiguration()
val_admin = new HBaseAdmin(_conf)
defPutData(tableName:String,columnFamily:String,key:String,data:String){
//  _conf = HBaseConfiguration.create().asInstanceOf[HBaseConfiguration]
        _conf.addResource("//etc//hbase//conf//hbase-site.xml")
        _conf.set("hbase.zookeeper.quorum","sandbox.hortonworks.com");
        _conf.setInt("hbase.zookeeper.clientport",2181);
println(_conf.get("hbase.zookeeper.quorum")); 
println(_conf.get("hbase.zookeeper.clientport"));
valtable = new HTable(_conf,tableName)
valput = new Put(Bytes.toBytes(key));
valobj = JSON.parseFull(data); 
objmatch {
caseSome(m:Map[String,Any])=>
m.map((r)=>{
valv=r._2.asInstanceOf[String];
put.add(Bytes.toBytes(columnFamily),Bytes.toBytes(r._1),Bytes.toBytes(v))
//println(r._1+":"+v)
          })
      }      
println("writing to HBase"); 
table.put(put); 
  }
}

Try setting zookeeper znode property as per your cluster conf, it will help.

conf.set("zookeeper.znode.parent", "VALUE")

Thanks

@Avraha Zilberman

Why your confs have double slash( "//") in path everywhere?

Hi thank you for the answer .

Tried it

Didn't help the same exception

I put the following code:

_conf.set("zookeeper.znode.parent", "//hbase-unsecure") //copied the value from the configuration file

Can you please remove one "/" from "//hbase-unsecure" and try again? @Avraha Zilberman

I will try to remove the slashes on addresource and see if it solves also

Many thanks

I believe it should be like _conf.set("zookeeper.znode.parent", "/hbase-unsecure")
