I am new to Hbase. Now I have a simple question : what's the difference between regionserver and quorumpeer. Regionservers list is in the file regionserver and quorumpeer should be configured in HBase_site.xml. I guessed regions of a Hbase table can only be stored in region servers but I have no idea with quorumpeer. Should any node of hbase cluser be regionserver and quorumpeer at the same time? If you know, please explain to me. Thanks!

For hBase to work it needs Zookeeper so that the regionServers and Hmaster can communicate and transfer data. CHeck this out http://hbase.apache.org/book/zookeeper.html You need to have a quorum of Zookeeper servers running (generally 3 or 5) You have to list the nodes where Zk servers are running in the hbase.zookeeper.quorum property in HBase-site.xml
