I'm trying to write a remote HBase client using Java. Here is the code for reference :

```
package ttumdt.app.connector;

import org.apache.hadoop.hbase.util.Bytes;

import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.HashSet;
import java.util.Set;

public class HBaseClusterConnector {
    private final String MASTER_IP = "10.138.168.185";
    private final String ZOOKEEPER_PORT = "2181";

    final String TRAFFIC_INFO_TABLE_NAME = "TrafficLog";
    final String TRAFFIC_INFO_COLUMN_FAMILY = "TimeStampIMSI";

    final String KEY_TRAFFIC_INFO_TABLE_BTS_ID = "BTS_ID";
    final String KEY_TRAFFIC_INFO_TABLE_DATE = "DATE";
    final String COLUMN_IMSI = "IMSI";
    final String COLUMN_TIMESTAMP = "TIME_STAMP";

    private final byte[] columnFamily = Bytes.toBytes(TRAFFIC_INFO_COLUMN_FAMILY);
    private final byte[] qualifier= Bytes.toBytes(COLUMN_IMSI);

    private Configuration conf = null;

    public HBaseClusterConnector () throws MasterNotRunningException, ZooKeeperConnectionException {
        conf = HBaseConfiguration.create();
        conf.set("hbase.zookeeper.quorum",MASTER_IP);
        conf.set("hbase.zookeeper.property.clientPort",ZOOKEEPER_PORT);
        HBaseAdmin.checkHBaseAvailable(conf);
    }

    /**

    public Set<String> getInfoPerBTSID(String btsId, String date,
                                       String startTime, String endTime)
            throws IOException {
        Set<String> imsis = new HashSet<String>();

        //ToDo : better exception handling
        HTable table = new HTable(conf, TRAFFIC_INFO_TABLE_NAME);
        Scan scan = new Scan();

        scan.addColumn(columnFamily,qualifier);
        scan.setFilter(prepFilter(btsId, date, startTime, endTime));

        // filter to build where timestamp

        Result result = null;
        ResultScanner resultScanner = table.getScanner(scan);

        while ((result = resultScanner.next())!= null) {
            byte[] obtainedColumn = result.getValue(columnFamily,qualifier);
            imsis.add(Bytes.toString(obtainedColumn));
        }

        resultScanner.close();

        return imsis;
    }

    //ToDo : Figure out how valid is this filter code?? How comparison happens
    // with eqaul or grater than equal etc

    private Filter prepFilter (String btsId, String date,
                               String startTime, String endTime)
    {
        byte[] tableKey = Bytes.toBytes(KEY_TRAFFIC_INFO_TABLE_BTS_ID);
        byte[] timeStamp = Bytes.toBytes(COLUMN_TIMESTAMP);

        // filter to build -> where BTS_ID = <<btsId>> and Date = <<date>>
        RowFilter keyFilter = new RowFilter(CompareFilter.CompareOp.EQUAL,
                new BinaryComparator(Bytes.toBytes(btsId+date)));

        // filter to build -> where timeStamp >= startTime
        SingleColumnValueFilter singleColumnValueFilterStartTime =
                new SingleColumnValueFilter(columnFamily, timeStamp,
                        CompareFilter.CompareOp.GREATER_OR_EQUAL,Bytes.toBytes(startTime));

        // filter to build -> where timeStamp <= endTime
        SingleColumnValueFilter singleColumnValueFilterEndTime =

                .asList((Filter) keyFilter,
                        singleColumnValueFilterStartTime, singleColumnValueFilterEndTime));
        return filterList;
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
        HBaseClusterConnector flt = new HBaseClusterConnector();
        Set<String> imsis= flt.getInfoPerBTSID("AMCD000784", "26082013","104092","104095");
        System.out.println(imsis.toString());
    }
}

```

I'm currently using Cloudera quick start VM to test this.

The problem is; if i run this very code on VM it works absolutely fine. But it fails with below error if it is run from outside. And I'm suspecting it has something to do with the VM setting rather than anything else. Please note that I've already checked if I can connect to the node manager / job tracker of the VM from host machine and it works absolutely fine. When I run the code from my host OS instead of running it on VM; I get the below error : 

```

Please note that; the master node is actually running. The zookeper log shows that it has established connection with the host OS :

```

```

But I see no trace of any activity in Master or RegionServer log.

Please note that my host OS is Mac OSX 10.7.5

As per the resource available; this should work fine; though some suggest the simple HBase java client never works. I'm confused; and eagerly waiting for pointers !!! Please reply
