If, like me, you get the following Java error when trying to run the quickstart shell script, it is because cloud shell uses Java 11 as the default JRE and hbase requires Java 8.
WARNING: An illegal reflective access operation has occurred
WARNING: Illegal reflective access by org.jruby.java.invokers.RubyToJavaInvoker (file:/home/andrew_southcombe/.m2/repository/org/jruby/jruby-complete/1.6.8/jruby-complete-1.6.8.jar) to method java.lang.Object.registerNatives()
Follow the instructions here to change your JAVA_HOME env variable to point to Java 8 and you should be good!

worked for me, thanks!
the relevant bit from the linked page
first run: echo ${JAVA_HOME}
this is probably talking about java 11
then run: export JAVA_HOME=$(update-alternatives –list java | tail -1 | sed -E ‘s//bin/java//’)
then run this again: echo ${JAVA_HOME}
and it should now say java 8
worked for me, thanks. Note : use JAVA_HOME not JAVAHOME 😉
I reset the JAVAHOME to JAVA 8 but still I get error
