Cannot start Nutch crawling

Question

I'm trying to deploy Nutch 2.3 + ElasticSearch 1.4 + HBase 0.94 on Ubuntu 14.04 following this tutorial. When I try to start the crawling injecting the urls doing:

$NUTCH_ROOT/runtime/local/bin/nutch inject urls

I get:

InjectorJob: starting at 2017-10-12 19:27:48
InjectorJob: Injecting urlDir: urls

and the process remains there for hours.

How do I know what's going on?

EDIT:

After a few time, the hadoop log shows:

But if I type jps I can see the HMaster running:

31672 Jps
20553 HMaster

Your Error logs shows : (hbase.MasterNotRunningException)

We need to Setup Hbase

open ~/Desktop/Nutch/hbase/conf/hbase-site.xml and add the following 2 nodes. We need to tell hbase the rootdir of the install and also specify a data directory for zookeeper.

open ~/Desktop/Nutch/hbase/conf/hbase-site.xml

<configuration>
        <property>
            <name>hbase.rootdir</name>
            <value>file:///Users/sntiwari/Desktop/Nutch/hbase</value>
        </property>
        <property>
            <name>hbase.zookeeper.property.dataDir</name>
            <value>/Users/sntiwari/Desktop/Nutch/zookeeper</value>
        </property>
    </configuration>

Next, we need to tell gora to use Hbase for it’s default data store.

open ~/Desktop/Nutch/nutch/conf/gora.properties
# open ~/Desktop/Nutch/nutch/runtime/local/conf/gora.properties

# Add this line under `HBaseStore properties` (to keep things organised)
gora.datastore.default=org.apache.gora.hbase.store.HBaseStore

We need to add/uncomment the gora-hbase dependency to our ivy.xml (may be line 118).

open ~/Desktop/Nutch/nutch/ivy/ivy.xml

# Find and Uncomment this line (aprrox 118)
<dependency org="org.apache.gora" name="gora-hbase" rev="0.5" conf="*->default" />

** Test Your Hbase **

# Start it up!
~/Desktop/Nutch/hbase/bin/start-hbase.sh

# Stop it (Can take a while, be patient)
~/Desktop/Nutch/hbase/bin/stop-hbase.sh

# Access the shell
 ~/Desktop/Nutch/hbase/bin/hbase shell

# list               = list all tables
# disable 'webpage'  = disable the table (before dropping)
# drop 'webpage'     = drop the table (webpage is created & used by nutch)
# exit               = exit from hbase

# For the next part, we need to start hbase
~/Desktop/Nutch/hbase/bin/start-hbase.sh

Follow some testing Step also :

1. First Check Version Compatibility.

2. Make sure JAVA_HOME and NUTCH_JAVA_HOME environment variable is set

3. Compiling nutch [ You need to compile Apache Nutch using ant ( ant runtime ) ]
