Description

the current docs for getting started walk through starting a stand alone cluster that relies on the local filesystem, but they don't account for HBASE-19289 so everything falls over.

Needed configs, probably with more warnings:

  <property>
    <name>hbase.unsafe.stream.capability.enforce</name>
    <value>false</value>
    <description>
      Controls whether HBase will check for stream capabilities (hflush/hsync).
      Disable this if you intend to run on LocalFileSystem.
      WARNING: Doing so may expose you to additional risk of data loss!
    </description>
  </property>

those "may" need to be changed to "will".
