The root cause is Compatibility Issue. I came across a bug for this issue.

Bug 25591766 – HBase 1.2: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: ….addFamily

In the bug it has been mentioned to set the below parameter, but already the below parameter is set and still facing the same issue.

gg.handler..hBase98Compatible=true.

This is a well known compatibility problem with Cloudera HBase. The root cause is that the Cloudera HBase client libraries broke binary compatibility with the Apache HBase libraries. You must be on OGGBD 12.3.0.1.x or earlier.

What the problem is and how to work around it, is explained in the documentation:

https://docs.oracle.com/goldengate/bd123010/gg-bd/GADBD/GUID-A6C0DEC9-480F-4782-BD2A-54FEDDE2FDD9.htm#GADBDGUID-8873BA41-35B8-4307-B406-EA9835DAA477

Go to section 1.2.2.2

The OGGBD 12.3.1.1.0 release provided improved support by resolving the offending HBase method using Java reflection. Therefore, if you are ready to move to OGGBD 12.3.1.1.0 or later this issue is resolved automatically.

See the documentation:

https://docs.oracle.com/goldengate/bd123110/gg-bd/GADBD/using-hbase-handler.htm#GADBD-GUID-1A9BA580-628B-48BD-9DC0-C3DF9722E0FB

Go to section 5.6.5

Cheers 🙂
