Looks like hbaseTableName is null, probably caused by incorrect configuration.
String hbaseTableName = jobConf.get(HBaseSerDe.HBASE_TABLE_NAME); setHTable(new HTable(HBaseConfiguration.create(jobConf), Bytes.toBytes(hbaseTableName))); Here is the definition. public static final String HBASE_TABLE_NAME = "hbase.table.name”; Thanks.
