title: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: java.net.URISyntaxException: Relative path in absolute URI: for Hbase in Talend
body: <p>I have been trying to fetch the data from a Hbase table using HbaseInput component in Big data Batch.Like below.

  <p>I have not performed any transformation in the tMap, just trying to read the data from Hbase table.I have checked all the connections, they are connected fine.
  So, finally i built a job, copied it and ran in the cluster.
  The job gave me the below exceptions,</p>
  
  <pre><code>[WARN ]: org.apache.hadoop.hbase.zookeeper.RecoverableZooKeeper - Possibly transient ZooKeeper, quorum=zk:5181, exception=org.apache.zookeeper.KeeperException$ConnectionLossException: KeeperErrorCode = ConnectionLoss for /hbase/hbaseid

  <p>Here is the table name,
  <a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/bQ4nx.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/bQ4nx.png" alt="enter image description here"></a></p>
  
  <p>It has written the row key, which i have hard coded in the component.
  And rest of the fields are empty.
  Yes, i have data in the table, it has millions of rows.
  I think talend is not able to fetch the data from  my table, it is not communicating with it, as the exception  says <strong>"Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: java.net.URISyntaxException: Relative path in absolute URI:namespace1:table_name"</strong></p>
  
  <p>**Is this the right way to specify the table name?</p>
  
  <p>Why am i not picking the data from the table?**</p>
