title: How do I force HBase to run on HDFS?
body: <p>I was using HBase on the native file system and created a few tables. Now I configured HDFS and want HBase to use that instead. I started Namenode and Datanode, but am not able to find a setting where I can tell HBase to use HDFS.</p>
  
  <p>I thought it might pick up HDFS upon a restart, so I did that (stop-hbase + start-hbase), but I am still able to see the table I created earlier on the native file system.</p>
