  <p>If I don't have Hbase libraries, the job runs fine.   Where is the relative path being generated?  How can I force the generated paths to be absolute?  </p>
  
  <p>In my code I have these two lines:</p>
  
  <p>TableMapReduceUtil.addHBaseDependencyJars(conf);
  HFileOutputFormat2.configureIncrementalLoad(job, htable);</p>
  
  <p>if I remove them I am ok but the job does not do what I need it to do.  I am ultimately trying to create HFILE to use with hbase bulkloader.  </p>
  
  <p>Environment:
  HBase 0.96.1.2.0.10.0-1-hadoop2
  Hadoop 2.2.0.2.0.10.0-1</p>
  
  <p>Thank you in advance for any help or direction.</p>
