HBase Shell Issues

Hey Cloud Gurus!

The default Java version in the Google Cloud Shell has changed, which means that the HBase quickstart script won’t work out of the box in this lab.

Before you run the quickstart.sh script, please run these commands in your Cloud Shell to install Java 8 and make it your default version:

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install openjdk-8-jdk-headless

export JAVA_HOME=$(update-alternatives --list java | tail -1 | sed -E 's//bin/java//')

Thanks!
