HBase record lost upon closing

HI, I install Hbase 0.89 (oct release) using local files开发者_C百科ystem, for dev and test purpose. I created few tables and rows using hbase shell. somehow whenever i restart hbase, no data/table available. any advice on this?

Using the default local file system stores files in /tmp. This may be cleaned up by your OS on reboot. If you must use a local file system, set the location to be something other than /tmp. Look in the hbase-default.xml config file in ${HBASE_HOME}/conf to see the correct property to set
