 The following illustrates how to run your application in real hbase cluster. You need to provide the hbase-site.xml. It may subject to change based on your specific cluster configuration.

 Running Spark applications with this connector, HBase jars of version 1.1.2 will be pulled by default. If Phoenix is enabled on HBase cluster, you need to use "--jars" to pass "phoenix-server.jar". For example:
 
-    ./bin/spark-submit  --class your.application.class --master yarn-client  --packages com.hortonworks:shc-core:1.1.0-2.1-s_2.11 --repositories http://repo.hortonworks.com/content/groups/public/ --jars /usr/hdp/current/phoenix-client/phoenix-server.jar --files /etc/hbase/conf/hbase-site.xml /To/your/application/jar
