I am first starting hbase on my local,in psuedo-distributed mode.

janusgraph-hbase.properties have below settings:

gremlin.graph=org.janusgraph.core.JanusGraphFactory

storage.backend=hbase

storage.hostname=127.0.0.1

cache.db-cache = true

cache.db-cache-clean-wait = 20

cache.db-cache-time = 180000

cache.db-cache-size = 0.5

Hi Nicolas,

Thanks a lot for responding.But I am using JDK 8 only

Hi Siju,

Is is not apparent from your description: did you also try the exact instructions from

That might provide an alternative setup for comparison.

HTH,   Marc

Hi Marc,

Thanks for the reply.

I used the exact same steps.My hbase starts,but from gremlin console,hbase is not connecting.I read it could be  version mismatch between Janusgraph and Hbase.Did trial and error,with different versions.Same error results.

Hi Siju,

OK, the exact steps I indicated point to the HBase standalone mode and that does not help you, because you are using the pseudo-distributed mode.

From your logs it is not clear whether the HBase system and its janusgraph table are in a valid state.

Maybe try the following:

 - use hbase shell to drop the current janusgraph table

 - restart the entire hbase system

 - reopen janusgraph with "conf/janusgraph-hbase.properties": this recreates the default janusgraph table in HBase

HTH,   Marc
