HBase configuration using two hadoop servers

[rockytriton]

I'm finding the documentation for HBase to be very lacking.  I finally got it setup so I can connect 1 hbase to 1 hadoop server though.  What I would really like to do is have 1 HBase server connecting to 2 hadoop servers on different boxes, so that the data is replicated.  Are there any tutorials on doing this?  What would be the steps to take?

(this is a question for the user mailing list, I put the dev@ in bcc)

HBase just needs to know the address of the Namenode given via
hbase.rootdir and that's it.

How do you propose we improve the documentation in this regard?

Hope this helps,

Where is the documentation lacking?  Can you cite the location?  A few
of us work on trying to keep it up so we are particularly interested
in new user's difficult experience figuring stuff out.

I'm not sure what you mean by 1 HBase server connecting to to 2 hadoop
servers?  Is that two datanodes?  By default hdfs replicates unless
you tell it not too.  Or are you talking about hbase-level
replication?
