java.io.EOFException when trying to run examples on HBase standalone
I'm trying to run this example: https://github.com/larsgeorge/hbase-book/blob/master/ch03/src/main/java/client/PutExample.java, from this book: http://ofps.oreilly.com/titles/9781449396107/, on a standalone HBase installation. Starting HBase works fine and the shell is accessible, but when I try to run the example I get the following error:
