Trying to run simple Java Hbase program w Eclipse

[#1]

I'm able to run simple 'create' and 'put' to add data to rows (I'm using HBase - the Definitive Guide) but it's failing when I try to run the Java program shown below:

import org.apache.hadoop.conf.Configuration;
import org.apache.hadoop.hbase.HBaseConfiguration;
import org.apache.hadoop.hbase.client.HTable;
import org.apache.hadoop.hbase.client.Put;
import org.apache.hadoop.hbase.util.Bytes;
import java.io.IOException;

public class PutExample {
   public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
      Configuration conf = HBaseConfiguration.create();
      HTable table = new HTable(conf, "jptesttable");
      Put put = new Put(Bytes.toBytes("row1"));
      put.add(Bytes.toBytes("colfam1"),Bytes.toBytes("qual1"),Bytes.toBytes("val1"));
      put.add(Bytes.toBytes("colfam1"),Bytes.toBytes("qual2"),Bytes.toBytes("val2"));

      table.put(put);
      table.close();
   }
}

 I'm pretty sure I have all the libraries I need (plus some I don't need):

    hbase.jar

    commons-logging-1.1.1.jar

    log4j-1.2.17.jar

    zookeeper.jar

    commons-lang-2.5.jar

    commons-configuration-1.6.jar

    slf4j-api-1.6.1.jar

    slf4j-log4j12-1.6.1.jar

    hadoop.core.jar

    core.3.1.1.jar

    hadoop.common-2.0.0-cdh4.1.1.jar

    hbase-0.92.1-cdh4.1.1-security.jar

and 

    usr/lib/hbase/conf   in the path

I haven't changed the hbase.site.xml file:

<configuration>
  <!-- Changing the default port for REST since it conflicts with yarn nodemanager  -->
  <property>
    <name>hbase.rest.port</name>
    <value>8070</value>
    <description>The port for the HBase REST server.</description>
  </property>
  <property>
    <name>hbase.rootdir</name>
    <value>hdfs://localhost:8020/hbase</value>
  </property>
</configuration>

 => Is there anything I can do to get this to work?

Here's the error log,

Try placing the following on the command line before your "hadoop jar...." command:

HADOOP_CLASSPATH=`hbase classpath`

Which brings up a good point, you ARE running your program with the syntax "hadoop jar /path/to/your/jar className..." right?

[#3]

I'm trying to run it through the IDE (Eclipse) - just running the program in Debug mode.
In my search for answers, I'm only seeing questions from people running from the command line.
Can I test from the Eclipse IDE, or will my testing have to be from jar files at the command line?

[#4]

Oh ok, thanks for clarifying.  Yes, you can most certainly develop and test apps in Ecplise.  In fact, there is a blog post and video tutorial on that exact process posted in this thread.  I bet that'll get you the help you need, but please let us know if not.

Regards.

Thanks.  I used the excellent video and blog (and my Cloudera Academic Training notes) to run Hadoop MR scenarios as jar files and through Eclipse.  Very happy.

I haven't been successful in running the hbase java program I listed earlier, or the MakeTable example included in the hbase directory.  

Configuration issues?  (I'm using the out-of-the-box configuration.) 

[training@localhost java]$ javac -classpath `hbase classpath` MakeTable.java
[training@localhost java]$ jar cvf MakeTable.jar MakeTable.class
[training@localhost java]$ hadoop jar MakeTable.jar MakeTable

[#6 · Accepted solution]

Was able to run this task:

[training@localhost java]$ javac -cp `hbase classpath` MakeTable.java
[training@localhost java]$ java -cp `hbase classpath` MakeTable

 Thanks for your help.

Thanks for the follow up.  I was going to suggest that exact thing for command-line, but the part I wasn't clear on was how to get Eclipse to load the HBase jars both during compile time AND runtime.  I'm not super familiar with IDE-based development, but that is the key to getting HBase applications to run.

Glad you resolved it!

[#8]

For anybody who might be following this, I referenced all the libraries referenced in the video and for HBase , added the 2 HBase refs to the reference list (hbase.jar and hbase-0.92.1-cdh4.1.1-security.jar)
Then it worked in Eclipse.
