grovysh imports when working with HBase fail

Question

What *.jar I need to make my groovysh work with hbase 1.1.2 i am trying to run a simple script and the following imports fail - groovy:000>

import org.apache.hadoop.hbase.client.Put

ERROR java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/hadoop/hbase/io/HeapSize at java_lang_Runnable$run.call (Unknown Source) groovy:000>

import org.apache.hadoop.hbase.client.Result

ERROR java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/hadoop/hbase/CellScannable at java_lang_Runnable$run.call (Unknown Source) import org.apache.hadoop.hbase.util.Bytes Invalid import definition: 'org.apache.hadoop.hbase.util.Bytes'; reason: startup failed: script14891462389401754287428.groovy: 1: unable to resolve class org.apache.hadoop.hbase.util.Bytes @ line 1, column 1.

   import org.apache.hadoop.hbase.util.Bytes

I have loaded hbase-client.jar in my -classthpath. Just need to write a simple script that puts and increments hbase variables and execute via groovysh.

Edit 1 I get this now groovy:000> groovy.grape.Grape.grab(group:'org.apache.hbase', module:'hbase-client', version:'1.3.0') ERROR java.lang.RuntimeException: Error grabbing Grapes -- [download failed: junit#junit;4.12!junit.jar, download failed: org.slf4j#slf4j-api;1.7.7!slf4j-api.jar, download failed: org.slf4j#slf4j-log4j12;1.6.1!slf4j-log4j12.jar] groovy:000> groovy.grape.Grape.grab('org.apache.hbase:hbase-client:1.3.0')

Answer 1

hbase client has a lot of dependencies:

http://grepcode.com/snapshot/repo1.maven.org/maven2/org.apache.hbase/hbase-client/1.1.1/

You can't just grab one jar and stick it on the classpath, you need a whole load of them

I don't use groovysh, but you should be able to do:

:grab 'org.apache.hbase:hbase-client:1.3.0'

And that should pull down hbase-client and all of its dependencies on to your classpath
