Can you try copying hbase-site.xml to other folder and change hbase.zookeep=
er.quorum to remote server and then use below command.

./hbase --config <other folder> shell

Then shell will start with the configurations in hbase-site.xml of new fold=
er. I didnt try this, but it should help you.


Thanks,
Rajeshbabu.

Subject: How to specify the hbase.zookeeper.quorum on command line invoking=
 hbase shell

We want to connect to a non-default / remote hbase server by setting
  hbase.zookeeper.quorum=3Dour.remote.hbase.server
on the command line invocation of "hbase shell"  (and not disturbing the
existing hbase-env.sh or hbase-site.xml).   How to do this?  Thanks!=
