I have a 1+2 cluster running Hadoop-2.5.2 and HBase-1.2.3 (both fully distributed) running with no problems at all(verified). I downloaded and built the most recent version of YCSB (0.13.0) to run it against HBase! I also made the "usertable" table with "family" column.
./bin/ycsb load hbase10 -P workloads/workloada -p columnfamily=family
and everything works fine. Has anyone run YCSB against HBase from a different server than HBase is running? (I describe it as "2nd case", above)
Is there any tutorial on how to run YCSB from dedicated ycsb-client-vm? (Of course I have read everything from YCSB-github).
Please, don't give me advices on how to run YCSB in the same VM that HBase(master) is running!
Luckily enough, I managed to receive an answer by posting the same question as an issue to the official YCSB-github-repo: https://github.com/brianfrankcooper/YCSB/issues/886
