Description

In a Java Pig UDF including an Hbase Client, which fetches the desired record from Hbase, 'hbase-site.xml' is not read from the Classpath.

// Set Zookeeper Quorum used by HBASE
// Read hbase-site.xml from CLASSPATH
Configuration config = HBaseConfiguration.addHbaseResources(UDFContext.getUDFContext().getJobConf());

We have verified that the directory 'etc/hbase/conf' where 'hbase-site.xml' is in, is on the HADOOP_CLASSPATH . I have tried everything, including the 'etc/hbase/conf' or '/etc/hbase/conf/hbase-site.xml' to PIG_CLASSPATH, CLASSPATH environment variables. We also tried adding the hbase-site.xml to our HADOOP_CONF_DIR and HBASE_CONF_DIR is set.

I have also tried REGISTER '/etc/hbase/conf/hbase-site.xml' in Pig. Finally the following did not work either:

conf.addResource("/etc/hbase/conf/hbase-site.xml");

I hope this helps.
