Hbase fail to create table

I started HBase using ./start-hbase.sh. I did ./hbase shell to start the shell of Hbase. The problem is that I can't create a new table.

$ ./hbase shell 
HBase Shell; enter 'help<RETURN>' for list of supported commands.
Type "exit<RETURN>" to leave the HBase Shell
Version 0.92.1, r1298924, Fri Mar  9 16:58:34 UTC 2012

hbase(main):001:0> create 'test','cf'

It stays like this forever. Can someone help?

Thanks

if the following command does not work

$ hadoop dfsadmin -safemode leave

then try

$ hdfs dfsadmin -safemode forceExit

This works for me!

In addition, edit /etc/hosts if you want to work as client connection to HBase, you must write IP and hostname.

For example, HBase is running in 192.168.xx.xx but your app is running in 192.168.xx.yy

Edit /etc/hosts add following lines

 192.168.xx.yy <hostname>

Your HMaster not started.

1.Kindly check your Hmaster log.
If you see anything like this in your log.
INFO org.apache.hadoop.hbase.util.FSUtils: Waiting for dfs to exit safe mode...
then leave hadoop from safemode by using the following command.
hadoop dfsadmin -safemode leave

2.If you see anything like localhost not accepting or zookeeper not accepting. Then, Kindly modify the /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname file.

remove the line 127.0.1.1 localhost
 your /etc/hosts file should look like this

127.0.0.1       hadoop
192.165.1.45    hadoop  hbase

Your /etc/hostname file should look like this

hadoop

You have to check the Hmaster logs for that, check the hbase.rootdir and hbase.zookeeper.quorum parameters in the hbase-site.xml file. This generally happens when Hbase cannot connect to the Zookeeper quorum.
