Program to list HBase tables gives NoClassDefFoundError

This is code to list HBase tables....

package SunHbaseSample.HbaseApp;
import java.io.IOException;
import org.apache.hadoop.conf.Configuration;
import org.apache.hadoop.hbase.HBaseConfiguration;
import org.apache.hadoop.hbase.HTableDescriptor;
import org.apache.hadoop.hbase.MasterNotRunningException;
import org.apache.hadoop.hbase.ZooKeeperConnectionException;
import org.apache.hadoop.hbase.client.HBaseAdmin;
public class ListTables {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws MasterNotRunningException, ZooKeeperConnectionException, IOException {
        // Instantiating a configuration class
        Configuration conf = HBaseConfiguration.create();
        // Instantiating HBaseAdmin class
        HBaseAdmin admin = new HBaseAdmin(conf);
        // Getting all the list of tables using HBaseAdmin object
        HTableDescriptor[] tableDescriptor = admin.listTables();
        // printing all the table names.
        for (int i = 0; i < tableDescriptor.length; i++) {
            System.out.println(tableDescriptor[i].getNameAsString());
        }
    }
}

I have created a jar file with maven build and tried running this as below. I am getting error as master not running

[kumarsu@dhrslnl001 ~]$ hadoop jar HbaseApp-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar SunHbaseSample.HbaseApp.ListTables

Solution

  • Environment is not able to find jar containing HBase library classes. The org.apache.hadoop.hbase.MasterNotRunningException is part of <HBASE_HOME>/lib/hbase-client.jar jar, hence you need to add it in classpath as follows. 

    export HADOOP_CLASSPATH=<HBASE_HOME>/lib/hbase-client.jar
example. 
export HADOOP_CLASSPATH=/usr/hdp/2.3.6.0-3796/hbase/lib/hbase-client.jar

    After exporting HADDOP_CLASSPATH, hadoop command will add $HADOOP_CLASSPATH in classpath.
