java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/htrace/core/HTraceConfiguration

I am using hadoop 2.9.1 and hbase 2.1.0 at stand-alone local mode.

When I tried staring HBase 2.1.0 using sudo start-hbase.sh at bin folder, I got below error:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/htrace/core/HTraceConfiguration

This is my hbase-site.xml

<configuration>

		<value>/home/niyazmohamed/bigdata/upgraded_versions/hbase-2.1.0/zookeeper</value>
	</property>

</configuration>

When I tried to start HBase version 1.2.0 , it started successfully and hbase shell was also accessible and CRUD operations were successful.

Hadoop and HBase path are set. Only by that , I was able to run HBase-1.2.0.

Only with HBase-2.1.0, this problem occurs.

Any help appreciated! Thanks in advance!

htrace-core-*-incubating.jar was missing from some early versions of HBase 2.x

If the htrace-core jar is in $HBASE_HOME/lib/client-facing-thirdparty

copy the jar to $HBASE_HOME/lib, otherwise

Download the Jar from Maven here

and place into $HBASE_HOME/lib

You can see in HBase pom.xml for version hbase 2.1 that htrace 4.2.0 is the correct version of the dependency.

Goodluck.
