It appears brew DOES have a recipe for hbase, but it fails with a 404 when downloading hbase itself.
13:44:51/java:11 $brew install hbase
==> Downloading http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi?path=hbase/hbase-0.94.11/hbase-0.94.11.tar.gz
==> Best Mirror http://apache.mirrors.tds.net/hbase/hbase-0.94.11/hbase-0.94.11.tar.gz
curl: (22) The requested URL returned error: 404 Not Found
Error: Download failed: http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi?path=hbase/hbase-0.94.11/hbase-0.94.11.tar.gz
A corrected url would be: http://mirror.reverse.net/pub/apache/hbase/hbase-0.94.11/hbase-0.94.11.tar.gz
I am not experienced in creating/modifying brew recipes. Would this be a simple case of downloading/tweaking a brew recipe file for a correct hbase download url and then re-trying? What would be the steps?
Update Based on comments below i did
$brew update && brew upgrade
This failed for me:
