I downloaded hbase 1.2.2 and try to run it on my macbook at stand alone mode, when i execute the start-hbase.sh it works pretty well. But now i'am trying to set the rootdir to store my data permanent. Is there a way to use a relative path to set the rootdir of hbase? i tried this in the hbase-site.xml but this does not work :(
<configuration>
<property>
<name>hbase.rootdir</name>
<value>file:///./Data/hbase</value>
</property>
<property>
<name>hbase.zookeeper.property.dataDir</name>
<value>./Data/zookeeper</value>
</property>
</configuration>
